DF envimet: apply user custom materials #73

Closed frank984 closed 4 years ago

frank984 commented 4 years ago

Maybe @AntonelloDN could find a solution to this issue: I defined new wall in the envimet database manager (ENVi v. 4.4.5) : image Then I opened my .gh file and applied this wall to breps: image I generated the .INX file: image Opened in ENVI spaces but all the three buildings have the base material applied to the walls: image In this case, I have to apply the customed material from spaces by selecting all single building: And then save the modified file. image What's that depend on?

Hi @frank984,

Material shoud be there, could you try to repeat workflow and open directly 3D view, check if you see your custom material (try to give a color different from 000000 to your materials). Please, let me know if you see your custom material on 3D view.

The issue should be only with 2D mode because of a small change in INX structure, if I am not wrong, with Monde integration. I can fix this small issue easily. It should not be effect your simulation because df envimet components write only "Detailed 3D models". Detail 3D models contain a 3D part with information of each building cell - that Envimet call facade. 2D part is partially ignored during calculation when Facades are in. Anyway, thanks for this and I try to fix this night.

Best, Antonello

@frank984 I have fixed it. I have released it in "stage environment" where envimet components code is: df_envimet. Feel you free to test it. Thanks.
