Difference in daylight factor result mesh

[charlie.brooker]

Hey @zahabia,

You can leave the detail level for radiance parameters the same, the crucial parameter you need to adjust is the ambient resolution

If you search the forum there’s a few posts about it, I gave a bit of an answer on it to someone else here

Strange pattern in HB Daylight factor

Hi @og, I’ve seen this before and for me it was an ambient resolution problem. You can plug the Ambient Resolution component into the additional_par_ input of the Radiance Parameter component. It might also be worth considering how large your context is and if it’s really relevant - I think one of the reasons a higher -ar input is needed is due to the size of the model + context. The smaller your total model size the lower the -ar input needs to be. To find out more you might need to look on th…

I’d recommend running at low detail level to start with and adjust the ambient resolution parameter (using the ambient resolution component and inputting your model and adjusting the detail level) initially to check the result pattern makes sense. Then you can increase the detail level to get a more accurate lux level / daylight factor result.
