Dragonfly components installation

[mk-1]

Hi @AntonelloDiNunzio,

I’ve created this new topic for the issue.

I have tried the manual installation;

• copy and paste “uwg” folder here: C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\scripts\
• drag and drop all components of “userObjects” into grasshopper canvas
• copy and paste “envimet” folder into C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries

I end up having only part of the Dragonfly components, see attached image.

Many thanks,

@mk-1 You can download the latest verison of dragonfly envi-met Here is the link created by @AntonelloDiNunzio

AntonelloDN/df_envimet

[mk-1]

Thanks @minggangyin

I’ve tried installing it via that link before with the same result. I do however get an error if I try to unblock the zip file (this is the same error as before @AntonelloDiNunzio).

If I click ignore the following components are present in the file;

Can this be the problem?

Hi @mk-1,

this is a windows issue. Could you:

• remove check “read-only”
• click on unblock
• click apply and Ok
• extract folder where you want in your machine
• copy and paste df_envimet and df_envimet_lib.dll in C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries. I suggest you put them in a subfolder to have some order in Libraries folder of Grasshopper
• close Rhino and Grasshopper
• run Rhino and Grasshopper session to see if components are there

Regards,
Antonello

Dear @AntonelloDiNunzio,

It seems like there is still a component missing; DF visualise buildings. I want to use it for adding facade greening. If tried installing both beta version as the ‘normal’ one from Github.

See image below.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @mk-1,

you can use ‘DF Read Facade’ that shows you how buildings are made in ENVI-Met and a new component that I have added to beta version today.
It works by selecting particular rhino meshes baked by ‘DF Read Facade’:

Example_beta_select_facade.gh (389.4 KB)

Dear @AntonelloDiNunzio,

Thanks a lot for your reply and this update. There is one thing I dont understand, how can you use the baked facade from DF Read Facade as input in the ‘DF Edit Facade Material’ component? Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Hi @mk-1,

It is an uncommon grasshopper component. I have added a short tutorial: New features
You should hold the selection in Rhino and then set ‘runIt’ to True. Component reads Rhino selection in real-time.

Please, let me know if it is clear, otherwhise it is better to open a new discussion about it.

Dear @AntonelloDiNunzio,

Perfect it works.

Kind regards,

Hii! Is there a component that replaces the “DF visualise buildings” now?
I’m following a tutorial on youtube on the “ENVI-MET Company” channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2doCZnbcKYE&t=11s in 1:05min) and this component is used in the video. Does “DF Read Facade” work in this case?

Thank you!

Dear @AntonelloDiNunzio,

It seem I have the same problem even I tried to install manually as mentioned above, i.e.

• copy and paste “uwg” folder here: C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\scripts\
• drag and drop all components of “userObjects” into grasshopper canvas
• copy and paste “envimet” folder into C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries.

also followed your suggest

• copy and paste df_envimet and df_envimet_lib.dll in C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries. I suggest you put them in a subfolder to have some order in Libraries folder of Grasshopper
• close Rhino and Grasshopper
• run Rhino and Grasshopper session to see if components are there

However, the results as shown in the image below with no sign of the ENVI-MET components.

Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance

[AntonelloDiNunzio]

Hi @NattapoomV,

have you unblocked both df_envimet and df_envimet_lib?

Check if downloaded .zip file has been blocked: right click on it, and choose Properties. If there is an Unblock button click on it, otherwise it is OK. Unzip it.

Please, let me know.

Best,
Antonello

Hi @jinsil,

Is the issue related to envimet components? Are you able to see them under DF-Legacy?
If you do not see them you can try to install the gha library manually but remember to unlock the zip file before doing that.

Best,
Antonello
