Honeybee Adding shades component

[RP]

I am trying to run energy simulations on a model using Honeybee. I wanted to put custom made shading device to a window. However, its showing an error “1. Solution exception:‘Brep’ object has no attribute ‘duplicate’” for the out_shades input.

Hi @RP

For the ‘AddShade’ component, the ‘out_shades_’ node is expecting you to input a Honeybee ‘Shade’ object, not geometry. So use your geometry to create the Shade first, and then you can pass it it to the ‘AddShade’ component.

best,
