Wrong skylight created

Hi all,
I tried to create a skylight on the top of a simple box zone. If I set the “break up skylight” to false, there is no skylight created. If set it to true, the surrounding skylights are triangles. Can anyone help me with this?


Can you attach a minimal version of your file?

Thank you for the reply! Please see the attachment.

Energyplus will only consider the skylight ratio, so this should not affect the results much (or not at all). But if you wish to avoid those edge triangles then please make a clean zone geometry.


I created a new box in rhino at the location of the same zone. Then the skylight component gives the result as you expect.

Hi devang,

Can I ask what do you mean by a clean zone? I don’t think there’s a overlap in my model as the yellow part showed in your pic.

I baked the zone for which you are trying to create skylights. Ane then shared the picture of that baked zone. Clean zone would be a box in Rhino.
