Hello,
I read that in the last few years a -C option was added to gendaylit that produces colored skies. I was wondering if there is a way to implement that in Honeybee? Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi Belal,
Gendylit supports the -C option but this has not been ported to Honeybee yet. I think it should be fairly simple to add a hack to make it work. I will post an update later today or tomorrow.

(Edit from previous post: Apparently I was running an old version of Radiance on my laptop)
Try the modified “Honeybee_Generate Climate Based” component in the attached gh file. You should be able to make it work.
Standard sky output:
Colored sky output:
The input for user defined locus does not appear to be working with (at least the Windows version of) gendaylit. I need to figure out a bit more before updating this functionality to the source code. But you should be able to copy-paste that component into your project and make it work.

Thanks Sarith, appreciate taking the time to add that option. Do you know how I can get the new gendaylit files that accept this option on windows?

Hi Belal, the version of Radiance that is available from NREL’s github repository will support this option.
