[Radiance-general] optics2glazedb error

[Andrea Zani]

Hi everyone,

In the last weeks, I started working on glass angular behavior and color
appearance. I found Jack's program (glaze) really interesting.

I tried to create my glass database using optics2glazedb, but I am not able
to generate any output except for one glass, as you can see in the figure
attached.

Attached also some .rad files that I have exported from optics and I tried
to convert. I am using a virtual machine with Linux Mint.

Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestion?

Thank you so much in advance for your time.

Best,

[Andy McNeil]

Andrea, underscores in the glazing system name causes problems with the
optics2rad script, which searches for underscores.

Try editing the files to change the first underscore but leave the second
underscore like this:

vision60t_6_glass
vision60t_6_front
vision60t_6_back

becomes:
vision60t-6_glass
vision60t-6_front
vision60t-6_back


The file then looks like this, and I think it should work:

void glass vision60t-6_glass
0
0
3 0.712 0.721 0.694

void BRTDfunc vision60t-6_front
10
0.142 0.151 0.091
0.653 0.661 0.637
0 0 0
.

void BRTDfunc vision60t-6_back

0.079 0.118 0.162
