Limiting the context which falls within a specific planar radius from the geometry

I have multiple buildings for which I am studying incident solar radiation using LB incident radiation. However, including buildings beyond a specific radius from the subject geometry as context is not required. Is there any way I can limit my context to only a specific radius from the main geometry under study for solar radiation analysis?

Hi @Omprakash,

I’ve used shape in brep for this before - you can use area to get the centre point of your input geometry and then use that as a centre point for a sphere/cylinder to be the brep input, your context is the the shape input. You can then use == to test if geometry falls outside and cull pattern on your shape inputs to get just the geometry local to your analysis geometry.
