Hi @mikkel
There is some ambiguity about dynamic daylight workflow in 1.7
the HB Automatic Aperture Group workflow is like the same dynamic workflow becuase we can add aperture group on different side in the same dynamic workflow. ( we have to samples in the file related to dynamic workflow except dynamic geometry)
what is the main difference between tow workflows according to their concepts?
Hi @Aliarch,
Are you talking about the difference between the sample files “auto_dynamic_apertures” and “dynamic_apertures”?
The automatic grouping will create groups for all exterior apertures. You can add states to the groups, but you cannot distinguish between the groups - all groups will have the same states. If you want more control over the grouping of apertures and their states you should do it manually as in the “dynamic_apertures” sample file.
Thank you @mikkel . i figured it out.
Hi @mikkel i hope you are doing well.
I have two apertures, each with two states. When I get and input the group aps directly from HB Dynamic Aperture Group, the results are correct. But when I get and input from HB Automatic Aperture Group, the results do not change when the states change. Is there something special here?
Hi @Aliarch,
Can you share the example with internalized geometry?
thanks @mikkel
i made it with four apertures now. the issue is still existed.

Hi @Aliarch,
I think I see what the issue is now.
HB Automatic Aperture Group is a simplified method to group apertures. In this case it will group all your apertures in the same group – so you cannot control each aperture individually. You can see in the image that there is only one group ID in the model, but there are four different dynamic schedules, and since they all point to the same group ID only the first dynamic schedule will be used, so if you change the other dynamic schedules it will still use the first in the list.
Essentially, since you are creating the aperture groups manually with HB Dynamic Aperture Group, you should not be using the automatic grouping – well, unless you for whatever reason want to override your manually created groups.
thank you @mikkel
Even if we give four apertures to a HB Dynamic Aperture Group, HB Automatic Aperture Group will eventually split it into two groups. That means we can control each pair with two programs.
So in such a situation we cannot convert them into four separate groups with HB Automatic Aperture Group and must control them manually. Is this correct?
From your image it looks like it regrouped the apertures into two groups because of the vertical tolerance.
That is correct. If you want four groups you should not be using HB Dynamic Aperture Group.
thanks @mikkel
I realized
