Python Development

Hi,

i’d like to try to add the export of the construction names and maybe the subsurfaces to the ida dump.

Right now, my main problem is setting up a production development environment. Do you have any tips on how I can modify the Python code of the modules in Visual Studio and then test it in Grasshopper (in conjunction with the other Honeybee libraries)?

Best regards,
Heiko

Hi @heikow,

Can you tell me what do you mean here by Python? Is it trying to do this in the Grasshopper itself or the HBJSON → IDM? If it is the second one we are in the process of adding this functionality to the IDM exporter.

We have already made an improvement to export the zone property and constructions and program types are next on the list. What is the scope of what you’re trying to do?

I’m adding @davi and @nitro74 who are helping us with understanding the IDA ICE requirements.

If you have an IDM example with a subface, we should be able to add support for it to the existing workflow.
