Tree Recognition Component in Honeybee

Hello,
I’m trying to analyze how the surrounding trees affect a building. I was wondering if there is a component in the Honeybee software that can recognize trees and incorporate them into the analysis. If anyone is familiar with this functionality or knows how to use it, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Hi @Juhyung You can draw your trees and use them as shade objects for your analysis.

I have a question, though. Is there any other way?

You can refer this pdf on Radiance 2022 workshop.

@minggangyin I know we’re over a year later, but how would you even implement something like this? A script?

Hi @bwatanabe
You can refer to this paper .

This github project offer the grasshopper scripts to generate decious tree geometry.

I just try it and got a nice running.Here is the screenshot.
