Radiance Materials Honeybee 1.6.0

Hi

I’m new to Ladybug Tools so I started my learning journey with Ladybug Tools Academy. The thing is that those tutorials are with LBT 0.0.63. Hence, there are things that work different and some components are different as well. I’m watching a tutorial on HB Radiance and we are creating our own materials in a file named HoneybeeRadMaterials.mat. But it seems my version (1.6.0) doesn’t use that file anymore and I’m not sure how to proceed. Anyone had the same situation and was able to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi @ajassoi,

The tutorials here should answer your questions really well.

Cheers,
Charlie

To specifically answer your question about this, @ajassoi

This file .mat file of custom Radiance modifiers should now go in the following location if you are using Ladybug Tools:

C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\ladybug_tools\standards\modifiers

The modifiers will get loaded up from that folder whenever you start up grasshopper.
