I know some of you had issues getting RADIANCE and DAYSIM installed on your system, so here is a video that shows how you can get everything installed on your system in less than 15 minutes. Hope it helps, Mostapha PS: I forgot two things in the video: 1. if you don’t install Radiance at C:\Rad…

Hi Mostapha, Thanks for that video. Still having some problems, though. I originally installed Radiance on C:\Energy\Radiance (no spaces) and got the following issues when opening the “000_GettingStarted_With_Honeybee.gh” file: Warnings: Honeybee cannot find RADIANCE folder on your system. Make…

Update: I uninstalled LBHB, manually created the c:\ladybug folder and then installed LBHB again. I see that dropping the Honeybee_Honeybee component on the canvas creates one file in this folder. Now there only is an OpenStudio warning message but as I understand, that is not important. Opening …

For what it’s worth, I’ve now installed EnergyPlus (latest version: 8.1.0) in the c:\EnergyPlusV8-1-0 directory. I’m still getting the warning about not finding EnergyPlusV7-2-0 and the error message as before (1. Solution exception:Construction). Note that the Honeybee_createHBSrfs in the 000 get…

Hi Wim, Sorry that I couldn’t get back to you sooner. Let’s get it fixed one by one. Can you please go ahead and download the new version. I updated the component not to give the warning for EnergyPlus. I will check the rest of your messages and reply shortly. To update the components you should b…

I’ve now downloaded LB 0.0.55 and HB 0.0.51. Uninstalled the old version and installed the new one. I’ve then used the update components for Ladybug and Honeybee to update the components in the 000 getting started file. I’m still getting the construction, EPZone, and RADParameters errors. Standin…

I see… That happens because of the same issue. Honeybee tries to download the material files to c:\ladybug but it fails. That ‘Download complete!’ message is a lie! :wink: If you copy this file to c:\ladybug manually ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16228160/honeybee/OpenStudioMas… ) and re-open…

Well… Since I manually (i.e. by means of a admin user) created c:\ladybug earlier today (my second message), my user has all rights within that directory. Before downloading the OpenStudioMasterTemplate.idf from the link above, I saw that the directory contained a bunch of files already. Sadly (…

Hi Wim, Thank you for the update. Nevertheless I added C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ladybug as an alternate folder for similar cases. Thanks again for reporting this. Happy analysis! :slight_smile:

**The Radiance link **( https://openstudio.nrel.gov/getting-started-developer/getting-start… ) now redirects to https://www.openstudio.net/ where I cannot find the software. The only software there is Open Studio.

Hi Jesse, Radiance is moved to github now. Here is the link to the page ( https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases ) and here is the direct link to download the installation file ( https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases/download/4.2.2/radiance-4… )
