Make the output mesh transparent from LB Direct Sun Hours

Hello,

I am currently testing some direct sun analysis and want to customize the result output. While I want to change the title of the analysis, I really want to make change in how the meshes are colorized since the output mesh is not showing the topology.
Is there any dedicated component to make customization to what I try to achieve?
Thank you very much.

Hi @Amaraa.N you could pass custom colors including opacity through here:


as well as the built in color pallet:
visulaization_colors
hopefully that helps!

Hello @TrevorFedyna,
I have actually used custom colors and fed to the colors_ input of the Legend Parameter as you described.
I liked the original color of the Mesh output thus I was wondering if it’s possible to add transparency into it. Thus I’ll probably test making new custom color with the exact same color code plus some transparency.

Btw, do you know if its possible to change the name of the Result on the canvas? I want to change Direct Sun Hours into something else/translate into different language.

Rhinocommon SDK does not support assigning transparent colors to mesh faces unless the mesh is all one Monotone color. So there’s ne easy way to make meshes transparent with the Rhino methods that Ladybug Tools uses.

The only workaround that I know of is that you can do texture mapping onto a Rhino mesh and, with this, you can make the image that is texture-mapped transparent. It has been almost a decade since I played around with this but I think I got it to work for one case by using the texture mapping components in the Human Grasshopper plugin:

Let us know if you end up trying it, @Amaraa.N .
