Hi Mostapha, See attached. Trying, after the thread in the Comment section, to build a simple example for view analysis. I get this error: Solution exception:global name ‘viewPoints’ is not defined And don’t know how to move forward. It is strange. Before this error i get another one related to…

Hi Abraham, There should be a reason that I always release the view analysis with a bug! I forgot an underline. customHeading = ‘\n\nView Analysis’ + '\n#View Points = ’ + len(****_****viewPoints) Now it is fixed and running. I will update the source code and the download link shortly: [image] W…

Funny :slight_smile: Thanks. Is there a way to get the % for each of the points, instead of the weighted %? -A.

Sure thing! Leave the viewPtsWeights input empty and viewStudyResult output should give you that for each test point.

Hmmm … I meant that for each of the viewing points i want to know the % average they see the Geometry. The ViewResult shows the % for each patch on the geometry. The AverageView is giving only one value (even when i disconnected the viewPtsWeights. Thanks, -A.

Hi Abraham, I see your point now. You are changing the test point and the target points in your question. Pretty interesting indeed! I’ve never thought of it this way! [I feel stupid now! Hahaha. Of course you should be able to so this.] I’ll modify the component later today so you can either input…

Still funny :slight_smile: Well. This is not what i meant at all but the results is the same. When i said “point” i always intended them to be the ViewPoints, as in the component. Now, you check if you see from each of those point a Geometry (say, a surface). So according to the grid size you have …

Thanks for the comment. It reminded me that I actually considered this! I added an output to viewAnalysis component (“ptIsVisible”) at the last minute to let the users do stuff like this. :slight_smile: It is similar to intersectionMtx: A list of 0s and 1s that shows if the test point is visible. Y…

And this is really it!!! Great and thanks!! In your “spare” time please explain the logic of the viewPtsWeights. I don’t get it. When all are 0 you get the average (~78 in this case), when all 1 i thought you should get the same … but i’m not. I get 100 (probably because one of the VP sees 100%). S…

Nice! No problem. Thank you for bringing it up. Weights define the importance of the view point. Just an input to give some freedom to user to use the component as they wish. Let’s say you are testing for 4 viewPoints. In that case normally each viewPoint has the importance of 1/4 (25%), however i…

Hi Mostapha, Thanks for the explanation. I’ll let you rest on this one … for now :-). Mainly because it is not so critical. -A.
