Mesh Threshold Selector - [source code]

Use this component to select out the part of a colored mesh that meets a certain conditional statement. This has multiple uses: The generation of a custom shade from a shade benefit analysis, Quantifying the daylight area from a daylight analysis, Selecting out the portion of a roof with enough solar radiation for PV panels, and much more.

Inputs

  • inputMesh [Required]

The mesh for which you would like to highlight the portion that meets a threshold.

  • analysisResult [Required]

A numerical data set whose length corresponds to the number of faces in the _inputMesh.

  • operator [Default]

A text string representing an operator for the the conditional statement. The default is set to be greater than (>). This must be an operator in python and examples include:

  • Greater Than < - Less Than = - Greater or Equal <= - Less or Equal == - Equals
  • percentToKeep [Optional]

A number between 0 and 100 that represents the percentage of the mesh faces that you would like to include in the resulting newColoredMesh. By default, this is set to 25%.

  • levelOfPerform [Optional]

An optional number that represents the threshold above which a given mesh face is included in the newColoredMesh. An input here will override the percent input above.

Outputs

  • readMe!

...

  • totalValue

The sum of all of the values that meet the criteria multiplied by the mesh face area. For example, if the _inputMesh is a radiation study mesh, this is equal to the total radiation falling on the newColoredMesh. For an energy shade benefit mesh, this is the total energy saved by a shade of this size.

  • areaMeetsThresh

The area of the newColoredMesh in Rhino model units.

  • newColoredMesh

A new colored mesh with the vlues below the threshold deleted out of it.

  • newMeshOutline

A set of curves outlining the portion of the mesh that is above the threshold.
