Hello! I have a question about modelling internal windows. I’m trying to do it adding subsurfaces to the Rooms but I get the error message saying subsurfaces can only added to external walls. On the other side, the HB Faces By Type component allows to check internal apertures - so I’m sure there’s a way that I can’t figure out. Any hint?

You have to add the Apertures to the parent Rooms before you solve adjacencies. This allows Honeybee to verify that the interior apertures of neighboring Rooms are suitable to be adjacent to one another (eg. one interior window geometry is not larger than the other). I know that this might not be obvious but it will become second nature once you get the hang of it.

Makes total sense, thanks Chris!
Hi Chris,
I am having a similar issue. I followed what you said, it still wont recognize internal apertures or internal walls.
Attaching my GH file and model (this is a DSF related model hence the plenum in front)
Im sure I am missing something very minor, but I can’t seem to figure out what
Hello,
I have a similar issue, where I want to add interior windows to an interior wall, but it recognises it as external window. If I try to do it with HB Add Subface before connecting to the solve adjacency, it says that windows cannot be connected to an adiabatic wall. What component should be used to conncet the interior aperture before the solve adjacency.
Do not make the wall adiabatic before you assign the window to it. The Solve Adjacency component takes care of making the boundary condition interior for you. So there’s no need to make it adiabatic beforehand.
