Honeybee_IntersectMasses issue

Hi community,

I am trying to optimize form of a building which has some zones and intersects walls. When I change the height of a zone which has some walls in common with other zones, the Honeybee_IntersectMasses dosen’t work any more. So how can I change the height of that zone for finding the best one?

Thanks,

Ehsan.

Hi Ehsan,

Intersection can always be tricky. If your model is simple enough I would suggest to modify the original script to generate the surfaces separately so you don’t need to run the intersections.

Also in some cases changing the tolerance helps with the process.

Hi Mostapha,

I am not sure about the complexity of my model, so I added a picture of it. Is it possible to create a union zone from some separate faces or surfaces? And if I change a numerical feature of each surface like height, what happens to the exterior and interior parts of them? And to some extant ,I couldn’t get your meaning of “changing the tolerance”.

Thanks,

Ehsan.
