Wind Factor Component version 4.2 is throwing error in Annual wind study template

[asisnatha]

I updated the template for annual wind analysis to 4.2ver and the simulation ran successfully. I could visualize the wind vectors for all directions. But when I am trying to run wind factor component throws error as " Object reference not set to instance of the object". Kindly assist in solving this

Could you please check if any inputs are Null and report back?

@kastnerp I had checked the script again thoroughly but the issue persists.. This issue also persists in outdoor comfort template. I was checking the indoor template too. It is also throwing error. Last release was working nicely, this release (ver 4.2) is breaking lot of eddy components. Even pressure template is not opening in grasshopper. For your info, i am using latest version pf rhino 8

I can confirm the problem. Seems like R8, once again, introduced breaking changes regarding how the UI behaves. I will recompile the latest version for R7 in the meantime.

That would be great. @kastnerp , so for now the current version will not work with R8?

First off, I just published v0.4.2.1, again for Rhino 7.
I manually tested some templates earlier, and it seems the Rhino 8 UI introduces breaking changes that relate to the cylindrical domain. The Box Domain seems to work, though.

The unit tests all passed, so it likely has to do with how the UI interfaces with the component logic. I will have to investigate further.

Ok. Till then have to install Rhino 7 again. Will test in Rhino 7 and let you know if I encounter any issue!

Hi, Do we have any update for Rhino 8?

Hello @kastnerp I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm running version 0.4.2.1 of the component in Rhino 7 and still encountering the same error. May I ask what the reason might be?
The error message is "Object reference not set to an instance of the object", where "Wind Factors Spatial" can produce output, but "Wind Factors Annual" output is empty.

This should be fixed now. Will be uploading v0.4.8.0 in a bit.
