Generally, issues in a Grasshopper script arise from three sources: defects of the wiring of components, defects or unexpected behavior in components, and unexpected inputs. Defects and unexpected behavior from components is really rare unless you're using plug-ins which haven't been tested extensively. So we're going to focus in this video on defects in wiring and defects from inputs. I have the exercise file open in Grasshopper. And I've finished adding functionality, but I haven't tested or reviewed it yet to see if it's working. If I zoom in the Solve Type section, I can see that I'm still inputting my default geometry, my sphere. So I need to grab the geometry in the insolation calculations from the rest of the script.
