When generating a WUFI Passive model using the new HB-PH components, I am having an issue bringing the units in correctly. I am using Rhino 7, LBTv1.5, HB-PHv1.0 and WUFI Passive v3.2.0.1, on a Windows 11 PC.
The attached example is a simple 100’ x 100’ x 10’ box. My Rhino model units are in inches (1200" x 1200" x 120"). I am able to verify that the model volume (100,000 ft3) and floor area are correct using HB components before exporting to WUFI XML. However, when I open the XML file in WUFI, the Gross Volume is coming in as a value much higher (6,102,374,407 ft3). The floor slab (which should be 10,000 ft2 is listed as 15,500,031 ft2).
I see you have the Rhino units set as inches in the tutorial videos without problems: What am I missing? Thanks for your help!
Sorry for the trouble there. My initial guess is that you just need to update to the latest version of the HB-PH plugin. Just a few weeks ago I fixed a few small bugs in the unit conversion module, so hopefully that will work for you now.
To update your HBPH, all you need to do is download the installer file: -Link- and then just re-run the install script. That should update all the behind-the-scenes bits. Once you reboot Rhino is should ‘just work’ (I hope).
I just tested it on my system, and it appears to be working, so hopefully that recent update fixes the issue for you?
