Can't find gendaymtx.exe #76

Closed AlyssaHaas closed 6 years ago

AlyssaHaas commented 6 years ago

Hi There,

I am attempting to run 05_annual_radiation_gridbased.dyn to build an understanding of how to do this type of analysis on models in dynamo and I am coming up against the error message below. I did check my app folder and I do have a file path to gendaymtx.py...

Anyhow I am a bit stuck on how to proceed and I'm not sure if its a problem with my install, I re-ran the dynamo HoneyBee installer just to make sure and still not luck. Any help would be appreciated... Now I am going to go try in Grasshopper! :)

Thank-you

@AlyssaHaas, Sorry for the late reply. As the error message says it can't find gendaymtx since it can't find Radiance installation. Where did you install Radiance? Is it installed in c:\radiance\? You can set it up to a different path by modifying the json file but it's not recommended.

Hi Mostapha,

It was definitely a path issue. c:\radiance solves it. Thanks!
