Hi,
I recently updated my LBTools, and now I can’t get the lighting loads after simulation. I looked for similar issues and from what I read it seems that using the new components should fix the problem. I did so, but it’s still not working.
I’d really appreciate any advice, Thank you

Hi @farzaneh.fth
I checked your file but I did not see a problem!
Did I understand your question correctly?
That’s interesting. When I run the simulations on my own pc, I don’t get these results 
.
Maybe I didn’t install the plugins correctly.
Thanks for the reply, it was very informative.
I don’t know. How can I check this?
@farzaneh.fth There wasn’t EPW file in your GH. Are you importing the EPW? You don’t receive an error?
Can you send Image of your workflow?
I’m using the “path” component to import the EPW file as always. I had never had this problem before updating the plugins, and I can run glare and daylight simulations with the same file. So I don’t think the EPW file is the problem,

What it seems from your pic, You need to do proper solve adjacency operation with your 3d model
thank you, but since the model works fine in @Mohammad.hakim.a 's pc I don’t think it’s the problem.
I get now your last question which was about OS version. I’m using OpenStudio 3.1 and EnerpyPlus 9.4. Are these compatible with HB-legacy?
Unfortunately not:
Thank you very much. This solved the problem
