Dynamic shading in Ladybug 1.4.0

Hi all, I have recently installed the Ladybug tools 1.4.0 and I am trying to run some studies (probably both daylighting and energy) on dynamic shading systems (internal curtains) in Grasshopper through Honeybee.
I have already read different topics that states that Dynamic Shade/Aperture Groups are the only components in LBT Honeybee that aren’t finished at the moment. So I was trying to find alternatives.

In the past I used Honeybee[+] to run daylighting analysis considering internal screens on Rhino 5; now I have installed Rhino 7 and the Ladybug Tools 1.4.0 but the same script is not working. Is there a way to account for dynamic behaviour in Rhino 7 and Ladybug 1.4.0? Why Honeybee[+] is not working on this new version?

Thank you.

This is only true for Radiance simulation and @mikkel is almost finished with an implementation for this.

You can model dynamic shades/curtains easily in energy simulations using the HB Window Construction Shade component.

Honeybee[+] is deprecated and it isn’t really meant be installed alongside the latest LBT plugin but it’s possible to install both as long as you install Honeybee[+] first and then install the LBT Grasshopper plugin afterwards.
