Radiation reflection concentration from curved mirror / HB 1.3 -1.4

Hello @chris,

I’m also trying to study this topic and found the old topic in forum:

Adding Radiance Materials to Honeybee

Hi guys, I would like to simulate the effect of reflections of beam solar irradiance and concentration due to concave aspect of a facad (as for the 20 Fenchurch Street building in London). I read this post on the same subject: http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2008-Marc… But I don’t understand exactly how to assign the materials to the surface. When I use the Honeybee_CreateHBSrfs component it gives me an error: Solution exception:Faild to import void glass glass_al…

In this topic, man should manually add specific items to library and find “hot spot”. It can be realized in legacy version but missed in LBT. Would you please tell me how to add material to library in LBT?

Thanks in advance!
