In this tutorial, we walk you through a powerful and efficient workflow, taking your 3D model from SketchUp into Rhino, and finally into Ladybug for comprehensive daylight analysis. This step-by-step guide is perfect for architects, designers, and sustainability experts aiming to optimize natural lighting in their projects.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Exporting from SketchUp: How to properly export your SketchUp model to ensure smooth integration with Rhino.
Importing into Rhino: Step-by-step process to import and clean up the geometry within Rhino for further refinement.
Setting up in Rhino: Techniques to prepare your model for daylight analysis, including adding details and preparing surfaces for analysis.
Ladybug Daylight Analysis: Once the model is set, we’ll guide you through using Ladybug in Grasshopper to run daylight simulations, optimizing building orientation and design for natural lighting.
Results Interpretation: Learn how to interpret daylight simulation results and implement findings to enhance your architectural design.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced user, this tutorial offers a comprehensive workflow for creating energy-efficient, daylight-optimized spaces using industry-standard tools. Learn how to boost sustainability in your designs with this end-to-end tutorial.
