rotateHBObj - Sensor points #649

Closed ayezioro closed 7 years ago

ayezioro commented 7 years ago

Hi, As for the example i uploaded in this discussion i noticed that the HB_rotateHBObj component (and probably the other HB transformation ones) is not rotating the location of the sensor point for daylighting control in E+. Checking the idf i see that all rotated zones do have the location point located at the same location of the original zone. As E+ doesn't warns about anything (for instance that the sensor points are outside the zone) and i get results, i was just trying to check everything is set properly. So i catch this one. Surprisingly the lighting results changes across the zones, even though the sensor for all of them is at the same location. Weird ...

In case it is hard to solve i'll cancel the sensor point and take the default which i understand is to locate the sensor (if only one) in the middle of the zone (which for this case is not).

I want also say that the transformation components are EXTREMELY useful!! For the example above it was so easy to define everything is one zone and then transform it. Thanks for that.

Thanks, -A.

For now i solved the issue like this: capture At the final stage, before simulation, i array the sensor location. Checking the idf i see they are well located. -A.
