Room & sensor grid in thick-wall daylight models

Hi HB community,

What I understand from HB room concept is that we cannot use it for thick-wall Radiance models which have holes in the walls/roofs for windows/skylights. Is it correct?

On a related note, if we make a daylight model without defining a room (using faces and apertures), the current functionalities for sensor grid generation are quite limited. Do you plan to add a component to make sensor grids and meshes based on surfaces? This will give much more flexbibility to work with or without rooms and get customized sensor grids on different surfaces?

All the best,
Farhang

This is not what you are asking about? No rooms in there.

Thanks @AbrahamYezioro.
Yes, that’s what I mean. But I cannot find that first grid generator (with 4 inputs and 4 outputs) that you are using.

Check the LB tab, group 4 (Extra).
