ladybug-tools
Installation does not show Ladybug addon - Installation instructions in README.md do not fit anymore.
Hi team,
let me first thank you for providing your time into developing such tools and rolling it out to the public. I'm very happy people are doing this...
I tried to use ladybug-blender in the configuration shown below, with the installation steps summarised below - but the button showing node: ladybug-tools in blenders preferences => Add-ons window, doesn't show up.
I also just realized, that the latest update to the package was done in 2020-09-24 - so there might be only a few updates needed?
The installation instructions (file README.md), as well as the demo video mentioned at the end of the file ask to download blenderbim and ladybug-tools from blenderbim.org. But ladybug is not available there anymore (except by using a direct link to https://blenderbim.org/builds/ - and the latest version available there is from 2022 only).
So using the installation instruction below (for https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-blender) ends up with...
Modules Installed () from '/home/msigle/Downloads/ladybug-blender-master.zip' into '/home/msigle/.config/blender/4.0/scripts/addons'
...but the new entry Node: Ladybug-tools is not shown in the Add-ons.
Installation
- I will not detail the installation of Blender nor Blenderbim here.
- Installation of Sverchok completed succesfully by downloading the zip from https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok, then installing and enabling it in blender Add-ons.
- For the following I created a subdir ~/_SWTest to git clone to
python -m venv ~/_localPythonEnv
source ~/_localPythonEnv/bin/activate
pip install numpy #Sverchok preferences would not be show in blender Add-ons otherwise
cd ~/_SWTest
git clone https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-comfort.git
git clone https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-geometry.git
#git clone https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-blender.git - I tried by installing via pip as well by installing in blenders preferences => Add-ons. No success either way.
git clone https://github.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug
cd ladybug_comfort
pip install ladybug_comfort
cd ../ladybug_geometry
pip install ladybug_geometry
#cd ../ladybug_blender
#pip install ladybug_blender
cd ../ladybug
pip install ladybug
I did also download the zip from ladybug-blender and tried installing via blender => Preferences => Add-ons => Install.
Result was:
Modules Installed () from '/home/msigle/Downloads/ladybug-blender-master.zip' into '/home/msigle/.config/blender/4.0/scripts/addons'
But in the directory ...scripts/addons/ladybug-blender-master no subdir and only a few files were copied to: LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, .travis.yml, .releaserc.json and .gitignore.
In another attempt,I just tried to copy the complete archive content into the directory, restarted Blender, ... but nothing helped.
My system
- Archlinux 6.7.3-arch1-1
- Python 3.11.6 with virtual environment defined and exported and working
- Blender 4.0.2 (build 2024-01-16)
- Sverchok 1.2.0 installed, enabled and activated in blender (with many extra nodes installed: scipy, geomdl, scikit-image, circlify, Cython, Numba, pyOpenSubdiv, numexpr and ezdxf. NOT AVAILABLE are mcubes, Freecad. I also did not install Sverchok Extra for now, nor Sverchok Open3D
- BlenderBim 0.0.240202 installed, enabled and activated in blender
Readme is still outdated but you can try out the new build - https://github.com/Andrej730/ladybug-blender/releases/download/ladybug-blender-240419/ladybug-blender-240419.zip, it should work with the current sverchok version.
