Dear @chris ,
Would you be able to edit the shades components to allow “0” inputs without throwing an error (maybe just a warning)?
The reason for this would be for running parameter studies; you might want to try different options for shades, including no shades at all.
you can throw an if statement in the component;
something in the beginning of the code like:
if _shade_count_ == 0:
hb_objs = _hb_objs
elif __shade_count_ = > 0:
do the normal things
try this onebypassingShadeCompo.gh (16.8 KB)

Thanks @TrevorFedyna , this is a good workaround.
I still think it would be good to allow for a no-shade option in future. It’s nothing new in Honeybee, e.g. the SetEPAirflow legacy component also allows you to select “0” for “No natural ventilation”.
Agreed! @chris , what do you think about this?
