I am a tree physiologist researcher, and I am very interested in using the SkyHelios model for computing the sky view factor on trees located at Paris, France. I got a version of the model via the download request form on the http://www.urbanclimate.net/skyhelios/ website. I ran the hardware compatibility test and it performed successfully (on Windows 7 64 bits operating system).
I had the same problem than Marcel for loading a shapefile with height information. When I want to view my data, an "error generating map" message occurred.
I also trried to use a raster file which is a digital surface model of Paris also (.ASC file). Loading the file was OK, but showing the map lead to nothing (white background and a sort of scale in X and Y axis. But the Sky View Factor and sunpath windows seem to show something, which follows the red circle position in the main window.
From your reply, I checked the date of the ClimateSkyModel.exe file, which was last modified on 11/02/2011. I requested a couple of time the skyhelios model via the form, and I constantly recieved a link for the same version. I also treid to contact the prof. Matzarakis, but so far I did not recieve a reply yet. Could there be another way to have a more recent version of Skyhelios?
The issue you're experiencing is actually an entirely different one than described by Marcel! Therefore please open a new thread next time! Post has been moved.
To allow a proper guess on what went wrong please give some details on your shapefile: what type (polygon? line feature? point? multipolygon? ?), what attributes? and what geographic projection?
The white main window is a known issue for terrain files, that are simply too large to fit into a scene object. This is caused by the version of SkyHelios you're using is quite old. More recent versions will split up the area into many tiles, so this error is avoided.
I will ask Prof. Matzarakis permission to provide you with a recent version of SkyHelios. However, keep in mind that that version will be a development version, so double-check your results!
Thank you for your reply and for having opened a new thread, sorry for my misunderstanding... About the shapefile I used: - what type ? Polygone ZM - what attributes? building Height - what geographic projection? EPSG Projection 2154 - RGF93 / Lambert-93
I am looking forward to getting a newer version of SkyHelios! Not necessarly the newest (it should be nice), by a newer than the one I have.
