Thank you, Mostapha. I think it has sense to hold on with this question until I will approach to more specific task.

I don't know what will happen if it expired.

Hello Waseem, Very powerful visualizing software is Rhino plugin Grasshopper with its subplugins ladybug and honeybee. It is much more than only visualizing, but still brilliant in it (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/la...).

+Geometry looks much more real inside.

if it is not clear. By adding such answer, I meant that developers of UnmetHours are testing the new, web-based platform for energy modelers. As a baseline I consider mail-list platform. If the web-based platform will show its feasibility, then UnmetHours could jump to RC release:)

Personally for me the approach of email groups (i.e. EnergyPlus_Support@yahoogroups.com) still more comfortable. It is not very ergonomic to open a browser each time you need post a question, or check responses. But from other side it is evident, that web based forum form much more functional. Especially these Karma and Badges stuff:), as well as extra information with hacked moves advertisement, which was just as epidemic a couple of days ago.

if, at least, this forum would have a function to post questions via email, the comfort would increase as I think.

I also had a similar problem. I just simply save openstudio or idf and reload it. After that surfaces are ok.

Dear forum’s users,

Those one who is using Grasshopper for parametric analysis, please consult:

  1. How within grasshopper GUI adjust parameters of interest inside .idf file
  2. Make .idf runs by any energyplus version
  3. Read output:variables csv in grasshopper
  4. Back to position 1 Now, Honeybee partly provides these possibilities, but it creates idf inside, what provide a lot of limitations. I want to find more flexible way to use Energyplus interconnected with grasshopper.
