Custom construction sets

[chris]

@Erikbeeren ,

So you can setup your LBT installation to be able to assign your custom construction sets using the identifier (like you can with the pre-installed templates). You just have to write the ConstructionSet JSON into your standards folder using the “HB Dump Objects” component. Your standards folder should be at:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\ladybug_tools\resources\standards\honeybee_standards

… and you will see a constructionset folder inside that master folder where you can build your own personal library of construction sets that get loaded up whenever you start the LBT plugin. Along those lines, make sure that you restart Rhino/Grasshopper after you have written the construction set into your library using the “HB Dump Objects” component.

This post has more information about how to build up your own library of standards and generally make the most of the serialization to JSON text:

Import JSON ConstrucitonSets?

Hi @chris, This can be an obvious question but … how to import a set of constructions that i have as a JSON file? For instance see attached example. It is located at C:\Users\XXXXX\ladybug_tools\resources\standards\honeybee_standards\constructionsets Trying the SearchConstrSet i see there is a compulsory input (climate zone) and two more. I think i’m missing something but can’t get what is it. Thanks, -A MySets.json (17.9 KB) .
