Gen room command does not work

[koepferl]

I am currently working through this tutorial.

https://lbnl-eta.github.io/frads/how-to/guide_rad1/

gen room 12 14 3
-w 0.4 1 2.5 1.8
-w 3.3 1 2.5 1.8
-w 6.2 1 2.5 1.8
-w 9.1 1 2.5 1.8
-t 0.1 -n aroom

does not work. It returns me the following error:

gen room 12 14 3 \
-w 0.4 1 2.5 1.8
-w 3.3 1 2.5 1.8
-w 6.2 1 2.5 1.8
-w 9.1 1 2.5 1.8 \
-t 0.1 -n aroom
usage: gen room [-h] [-w start_x start_z width height] [-n NAME] [-t Facade thickness] [-r ROTATE] width depth flrflr flrclg
gen room: error: the following arguments are required: flrclg

Just to be sure, I currently have version:

In [1]: import frads

In [2]: print(frads.version)
0.2.10

However the installation of the below did not quite work, because a file was missing:

[taoning]

It looks like the installation didn't pick up the latest frads. Yours is at 0.2.10, and the latest is 1.2.4.
Can you post your entire installation log>

[koepferl]

@taoning unfortunately this one is gone

[taoning]

You can do a pip install --force-reinstall frads==1.2.4

[koepferl]

Did not quite work, there are a few errors at the end.

This is what I get from version:

In [2]: print(frads.version)

[taoning]

Thanks, this helps.
Looks like pip is installing the wrong version for some reason. You have M1 Mac and pip install is installing the intel version. I have never seen this before so I can only guess what's going on. What's your python version? Are you running x86 Python through RosettaStone on your M1 Mac? If you are using Anaconda, is it possible that you downloaded the one for Intel Mac and not M1 Mac?

[koepferl]

@ taoning: Hi thank you. I have anaconda an I downloaded it, and did not install it via the command line. There is just one version there. Python 3.9.13

[taoning]

Can you try this in your python

>>> import platform
>>> platform.processor()

[koepferl]

In [1]: import platform

In [2]: platform.processor()
Out[2]: 'i386'

[taoning]

You should see 'arm', not 'i386', if you are using m1 mac.
This indicates that you are running python through Rosetta, which is causing all the issues.
I suggest remove all python and re-install the correct version for you m1 mac.

[koepferl]

How it is this one:

In [1]: import platform

In [2]: platform.processor()
Out[2]: 'arm'

[koepferl]

% python --version
Python 3.11.5

[koepferl]

What steps do you suggest next.

[taoning]

Let's try to reinstall frads again with pip install --force-reinstall frads==1.2.4

[koepferl]

It gives me this error:

Thanks for your help

[taoning]

It should be frads.__version__On Feb 24, 2024, at 11:09 AM, Christine Koepferl ***@***.***> wrote: Thanks for your help —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***>

[koepferl]

It seems to be 1.2.4

Ok, how am unsure that everything works now. Is there some test I can use? I guess the one with the gen room is not ready yet.

[taoning]

It's ready now, make sure you upgrade frads to 1.2.5 pip install -U frads

[koepferl]

Hi, where did you put the update https://lbnl-eta.github.io/frads/how-to/guide_rad1/ is still the old version -- I think -- no windows in the display etc. a few typos in fr.gen_perez_sky and utils is not imported

[taoning]

Should be fixed now.

[koepferl]

Unfortunately I still see no windows. Also how would you plot the output "results" in matplotlib? But it runs through now

rad: error running rvu

[taoning]

you can do p 180 in objview to rotate 180° to see the windows. You are looking at the north side.
See the end of this guide for more info on plotting.

[koepferl]

not quite sure about the plotting though. I get an output as a string

[taoning]

You'd have to convert string to list of the floats, then use matplotlib to plot it as a scatter plots.

[koepferl]

I give it a try. This typo ist still in, as the below it should work.

floor_primitives = fr.utils.unpack_primitives("Objects/floor_aroom.rad")

[koepferl]

I only have on layer of results. It is 1-d

[koepferl]

Not sure this makes sense

[taoning]

I give it a try. This typo ist still in, as the below it should work.

floor_primitives = fr.utils.unpack_primitives("Objects/floor_aroom.rad")

You should be able to use fr.unpack_primitives() what's the error you are seeing?

[taoning]

Not sure this makes sense

we will add something at the end of the tutorial.

[koepferl]

should be able to use fr.unpack_primitives() what's the error you are seeing?

This works, but in the tutorial is an "s" missing. This is why I came up with the change.

[koepferl]

Sorry I can not see the image you sent.
