Progress window LB UTCI and PET comfort compontents

Hi,

When using the UTCI map component, a Python window opens where I can monitor the progress of a run. Additionally, I can use the HB visualize recipe component to view the progress in more detail. However, for the LB UTCI comfort and LB PET comfort components, no Python window opens when I run them, and nothing seems to happen when I use the HB visualize recipe component.

Is there a way to see the progress after running these components? Currently, it’s always a guess whether the process is stuck, crashing, or simply needs more time.

Thank you for the information.

Best regards,
Simon

Hi @simonverbeeck ,

I understand that you must be running some pretty intense calculations with lots of data points to be asking a question like this about the LB UTCI Comfort component.

The technical reason why you don’t have a progress window is that the “LB UTCI Comfort” component is not a recipe like the UTCI Mapping component. The Ladybug component’s calculation is happening all in the IronPython provided by Rhino/Grasshopper instead of running externally via a command line interface. So it’s not really built to run really intense calculations or to be monitored using anything other than Grasshopper’s native profiling tools.

Can you provide more information about why you are running so many data points through these ladybug components? If I understand that, maybe there are some ways of running the calculation that you want externally.
