Blender-Sverchok-LadybugTools: Problems installing and running

  1. M by Max on 23 Jan 2023, edited 6 Oct 2023 # +1 votes

    I just found out about Ladybug tools for blender and since I have used this for a long time in grasshopper I am very happy to see it in Blender. Anyway, it has not been updated for a some time and I wonder if somebody can verify that it installs and runs in the latest version of Blender and Sverchok. The problems I experiance so far are:

    1. Point Cloud Visualizer does not install, I get the following error: "fake_module: addon missing 'bl_info' gives bad performance!: ..."

    2. I get errors like the following images:

    Hi @Max . The problem is that the Sverchok Nodes API was updated and the Ladybug tools - Blender nodes need to update as well. It is an important project that we need to put some attention. I am very interested in this project too and I would like to collaborate on it, but I am not have the time right now, maybe in a few months.

    If you want try as it is, you should install sverchok version bellow 1.1.

    Thanks, I was afraid of this. Unfortunately I have problem installing Sverchok 1.0 in Blender 3.3.1 and later. Do you think it would be possible to run these components directly without Sverchok?

    Hi @Max! As far as I know, you can't install Ladybug-Blender without Sverchok. However, you can install the Ladybug Core tools to use it with python inside Blender-Sverchok depending on what do you want to do, you could try to use a script node inside Sverchok while the nodes are not updated: pip install ladybug-core ladybug-comfort ladybug-geometry Ladybug Core, Ladybug Geometry, and Ladybug Comfort

    Picking up on this thread. Does anyone know the last working versions when ladybug tools worked in blender? I am also trying to get some solar radiation study going, so I could really use this, even if I have to install older versions of blender, sverchok, etc.

    Still no new information regarding ladybug? After installing the Sveroc from the download page of blenderbim it seems when trying to activate Ladybug the following error code appares:

    "

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6\3.6\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 333, in enable

    mod = __import__(module_name)

    File "C:\Users\OleMariusSvendsen\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons\ladybug_tools__init__.py", line 25, in <module>

    from sverchok.core import sv_registration_utils, make_node_list

    ImportError: cannot import name 'sv_registration_utils' from 'sverchok.core' (C:\Users\OleMariusSvendsen\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons\sverchok-master\core__init__.py)

    "

    When going into the folder, the folder the sv_registration_utils is not there. Has anyone else found a work around?
