Model Alignment & Updates
PO_AlignInElevation
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to elevation reference lines. Non-planar faces will be triangulated.
Options
Threshold
A distance tolerance for how far away from each grid line that a vertex should be affected and snapped to. Default 10x of document tolerance.
Angle Tolerance
A degree number from 0 to 360 to filter each input geometry edges that have a angle difference from the grids. Input -1 to disable checking the angle tolerance. Default to the current document angle tolerance.

PO_AlignInPlan
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to a grid system. Non-planar faces will be triangulated.
Options
Threshold
A distance tolerance for how far away from each grid line that a vertex should be affected and snapped to. Default 10x of document tolerance.
Angle Tolerance
A degree number from 0 to 360 to filter each input geometry edges that have a angle difference from the grids. Input -1 to disable checking the angle tolerance. Default to the current document angle tolerance.
Snap Corners
snap all vertices within the range of threshold to a closest corner (end point), instead of perpendicular to the grid lines.

PO_AlignInPlan2D
Rebuild all 2D plan curves by aligning them to Rhino grid.
Options
DeleteInputs
Delete the selected planar curves.
Threshold
Minimum dimension of the offset to apply. Default 0.1.
Notes:
All curve geometries' end points will be snapped together based on current model's tolerance.

PO_AlignToRoom
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to a target room. Non-planar faces will be triangulated.
Options
Threshold
A distance tolerance for how far away from each grid line that a vertex should be affected and snapped to. Default 10x of document tolerance.

PO_AperturesDoorsSwap
Swap selected apertures and doors. All properties (modifier, construction, ventilation opening, etc) from the original geometries will be kept.
Video Tutorials
PO_Check2DOrtho
Analysis 2D plans (curves) and visualize non-orthogonal geometries based on a reference plane.
Options
Custom Plane
Set a custom plane by two points (X axis). Default is a World XY plane.
Angle Tolerance
A degree number from 0 to 360 used for non-orthogonal checks. A perfect orthogonal geometry means 90 degree from a base axis when angle tolerance is set to 0. Increase the angle tolerance would consider lines orthogonal within a range of 90 +- the angle tolerance. Default 0.01.
Notes:
The results are non-orthogonal lines.
PO_EditInPlace
Enter editing mode for a selected room or orphaned object. It is same as double clicking the geometry.
PO_EditProperties
Modify Honeybee properties for selected objects.
PO_EmbedUserLibrary
Embed all user's custom resources from the local library folder, so that this 3dm contains all resource objects and you can share this file without worrying about the missing resource objects on the other machine.

PO_Extract2DPlans
Extract 2D plans from solid. New added curves contain original solid heights which can be used directly in PO_Extrude2DPlans command.
Options
DeleteInputs
set to true to delete input geometries.
SimplifyCurves
set to true to simplify the generated curves and convert it to polylines.
PO_Extrude2DPlans
Extrude 2D plans (curves) to solid Breps based on height data. A default height will be used if curves do not contains height information.
Options
GlobalHeight
set a number for the height of extrusion globally. If the UseLocalHeightIfAny option is set to true and there is height data found within geometry, then this global height will be ignored for this geometry individually.
UseLocalHeightIfAny
set to true to use embedded height data that is stored within each curve if any as opposed to use the global height.
DeleteInputs
set to true to delete input geometries.
SimplifyCurves
set to true to simplify the generated curves and convert it to polylines.
PO_FixRoomChildrenLinks
Search globally and relink all child objects (Aperture and Door) with their host room object. Note that these child objects should be valid Aperture or Door objects and for unknown reasons that their host room failed to link them.
PO_GenAlignGrids
Generate reference grids for alignments based on input geometries
Video Tutorials
PO_ProjectSrf
Check all child objects (apertures and doors) of selected rooms to ensure they are coplanar with their host faces.
Notes:
This command will automatically project the child geometry to its host's plane.
It is important apertures and doors are coplanar to get a valid energy and radiance model.
PO_PurgeUserLibrary
Use this command with caution!!! Purge the library of all user energy standards that it contains. This command calls 'honeybee-energy lib purge [OPTIONS]', see https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-energy/docs/cli/lib.html#honeybee-energy-lib-purge for more details.
Useful Links
PO_RebuildAperturesDoors
Rebuild apertures and doors that are part of rooms (orphaned apertures and doors won't be processed in this command).
PO_RemoveProperties
Remove all attached properties from selected geometries.
PO_RemoveShortSegments
Removes short edges that have a length smaller than the minimum distance for selected solid geometries.

PO_ResetDisplayName
Reset an object's display name. You can also select partial room's sub-faces. Users can input any object's properties such as: Identifier, Story, DisplayName, etc., and format the new name as the following with the properties: {Story}_my new name {Identifier}
Find all objects' properties: https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-schema/model.html#tag/room_model
PO_ResetIdentifier
Reset a honeybee object's identifier and boundary condition. You can also select partial room's sub-faces for resetting boundary conditions.
Options
ID
Reset identifier criteria.
GenerateNewID
Create a new ID randomly.
ByDisplayName
Use display name as ID.
ByDisplayNameAndID
It combines display name and random ID.
Face
Yes to reset all faces' ID.
Room
Yes to reset rooms' ID.
SensorGrid_View
Yes to reset sensor grids' ID.
Validate
Yes to run model validation after resetting.
Notes:
All geometries' boundary condition will be reset to Outdoor, unless geometry touches the ground (0) and then it will be set to Ground.
Video Tutorials
PO_ResetResourceIDs
Reset all resource objects' identifiers across the entire model. If two objects of the same type have the same display_name, only one of them will be updated. This command calls 'honeybee-energy edit reset-resource-ids [OPTIONS] MODEL_FILE', see https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-energy/docs/cli/edit.html#honeybee-energy-edit-reset-resource-ids for more details.

PO_SaveToUserLibrary
Export and save all resource objects from the current model to local user's resource library.
Useful Links
PO_SetRoomStoryByElevation
Update selected rooms's story by their elevation
