Does Ladybug + work with Rhino 6?

I just uploaded an image, left showing Ladybug Sunpath and right is Ladybug+ Sunpath. Is this a compatibility issue?

Thanks

The answer is yes. Please refer to these websites.

HB and LB on Rhino 6 GH-1

Hi all, I’m trying to run Ladybug on the Rhino 6 WIP (Windows) and am having some issues. Everything runs fine when I use Rhino 5, but when I try to plug the location component into **sunpath, **I get “1. Solution exception:The method or operation is not implemented.” I’ve already tried to update to IronPython 2.7.7, but don’t think I’m doing it correctly (when I check the version using the GhPython script, it returns that I’m using version 2.7.5). I’ve been working with a collection of diffe…

Ladybug Tools for Rhino 6?

Hi all! I’ve been using the Ladybug Tools, mainly Honeybee, on a trial license for Rhino 5 for the past 2 months and now it’s time to purchase a commercial license. I see now that Rhino 6 is out which raises one question… will all the bugs fly smoothly on Rhino 6 or should I be purchasing a Rhino 5 license? Thanks in advance! Örn

I forgot to add this is a screen print from Rhino 6, I have uninstalled independent installations of Ironpython. Still no luck with Ladybug+ though.

@taylor_zhou Rhino 6 need Ironpython 2.7.5 or 2.7.7. You shound reinstall the Ironpython. Then restart the Rhino 6 and Ladybug, It should works.

Hi @taylor_zhou,
Can you please check if you have a file named sunpath.py at

C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\scripts\ladybug

[taylor_zhou]

@minggangyin tried that already with no luck.

Hi @devang, the folder you mentioned does not exist, the scripts folder is empty. Should I create that and where should I locate the python file?

The default folder for LB is C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Ladybug currently. Has that changed?

Thanks

DId you use the grasshopper file to install Honeybee[+] that you get when you download it from food4rhino website? Does it install everything successfully?
I would suggest trying to create the folder and placing the whole ladybug folder at the location I mentioned. Make sure it has the file named sunpath.py. Let us know if it doesn’t work.

[taylor_zhou]

Thanks @devang that seems to do the trick!

Hi, I’ve just updated both LB & HB [+] and I get this error message

I got Rhino 6 and Ironpython 2.7.7
Any tip?
Thanks in advance

How did you update the plugins? If you have used the components then it should download ladybug_geometry for you as part of the update. The error indicates that ladybug_geometry module is not downloaded or loaded to Grasshopper. Did you restart Rhino and Grasshopper after the update?

[alberto.bruno]

Thanks @mostapha for the prompt feedback.
I restarted both and now I get the following error message

1. Solution exception:None is not a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object

Looks like the issue addressed here:

Honeybee + stopped working after updating componenets

Hi khaoula92, I removed honeybee+ completely… re downloded and ensured the new LICENSE file was on the C: drive. Then everything worked fine.

However I don’t understand how to fix this. Can you help me?
Thank you
Alberto

Just updated all the components. See here:

5-phase annual daylight won't work with example files

This has been discussed before. This is because of a change in Radiance file header. The issue has been addressed long time ago. Try this file to install the latest version. update_honeybee_plus.gh (5.4 KB) Also download the updated sample files from GitHub:

Sorry @mostapha for the late reply, I was on my summer break.
Thank you very much for the support!
