I have multiple trees in my Rhino file, and to keep my file size manageable, I converted them into blocks However, Labybug for the direct solar radiation simulation requires the trees to be breps, and since they are now block instances, they aren’t recognized as breps.
Is there a way to reference block instances as breps in Grasshopper without exploding them manually in Rhino? Or is there a method to temporarily extract breps from blocks within Grasshopper while keeping the file efficient?
Can you provide more information? What is it, what components are you using, what is the geometry you have? what is the ‘context’? There is not much that can be deduced from the info provided, except that it (whatever it is) is expecting breps, but it is getting meshes.
ah - I see: so in Grasshopper, you cannot pass a Mesh surface into a Brep node. Grasshopper cannot do that sort of conversion.
You should just pass the Mesh directly to the Ladybug component’s ‘context_’ input. Or use a ‘Mesh’ node instead, if you still want to have a node of some form there.
