Sky Dome
This component allows you to visualize a selected sky matrix from the selectSkyMxt component in order to see the patches of the sky dome where radiation is coming from.
The component will produce 3 sky domes by default: a dome showing just the diffuse radiation, a dome showing just the direct radiation, and a dome showing the total radiation.
Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | north_ | Input a vector to be used as a true North direction for the sun path or a number between 0 and 360 that represents the degrees off from the y-axis to make North. The default North direction is set to the Y-axis (0 degrees). | Goo |
| Selected Sky Mtx | _selectedSkyMtx | The output from the selectSkyMtx component. | Goo |
| Center Point | _centerPoint_ | A point that sets the location of the sky domes. The default is set to the Rhino origin (0,0,0). | Goo |
| Scale | _scale_ | Use this input to change the scale of the sky dome. The default is set to 1. | Goo |
| Projection | _projection_ | A number to set the projection of the sky hemisphere. The default is set to draw a 3D hemisphere. Choose from the following options: 0 = 3D hemisphere 1 = Orthographic (straight projection to the XY Plane) 2 = Stereographic (equi-angular projection to the XY Plane) | Goo |
| Legend Par | legendPar_ | Optional legend parameters from the Ladybug Legend Parameters component. | Goo |
| Show Total Only | showTotalOnly_ | Set to "True" to only show a sky dome with the total radiation. The default is "False", which will produce 3 sky domes: one of diffuse radiation, one of direct radiation, and one of the total radiation. | Goo |
| Bake It | bakeIt_ | An integer that tells the component if/how to bake the bojects in the Rhino scene. The default is set to 0. Choose from the following options: 0 (or False) - No geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene (this is the default). 1 (or True) - The geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene as a colored hatch and Rhino text objects, which facilitates easy export to PDF or vector-editing programs. 2 - The geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene as colored meshes, which is useful for recording the results of paramteric runs as light Rhino geometry. | Goo |
| Run It | _runIt | Set to "True" to run the component and generate a sky dome. | Goo |
Outputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Out | readMe! | ... | String |
| Sky Patches Mesh | skyPatchesMesh | A colored mesh representing the intensity of radiation for each of the sky patches of the sky dome. | Goo |
| Base Crvs | baseCrvs | A set of guide curves that mark information on the sky dome. | Goo |
| Altitude Crvs | altitudeCrvs | A set of circular curves that denote the altitude. Note that these will only appear when the _projection_ is set to something other than a 3D sun path. | Goo |
| Legend | legend | A legend for the sky dome. Connect this output to a grasshopper "Geo" component in order to preview the legend separately in the Rhino scene. | Goo |
| Legend Base Pts | legendBasePts | The legend base point(s), which can be used to move the legend(s) in relation to the sky domes with the grasshopper "move" component. | Goo |
| Sky Patches Cen Pts | skyPatchesCenPts | The center points of sky patches, which can be used to shape Rhino geometry in relation to radiation from different sky patches. | Goo |
| Sky Patches Areas | skyPatchesAreas | The area of sky patches in Rhino model units. | Goo |
| Sky Patches As Brep | skyPatchesAsBrep | The geometry of sky patches as breps. | Goo |
| Values | values | Radiation values for the sky patches in kWh/m2. | Goo |
