You can use windows power shell to execute Unix command.
Or you can revised the unix command as following:
type points | rtrace -h -ab 1 -I uni.oct | rcalc -e 'SVF=$1;$1=SVF;'

Hi Katsuya,
Points should be the name of a file containing the location (Px,Py,Pz) and orientation (Dx,Dy,Dz) of your "illuminance sensors". Something like
0 0 0.8 0 0 1
1 0 0.8 0 0 1
Such case would represent two sensors, one on the position X=0, Y=0, Z=0.8 and one in position X=1, Y=0, Z=0.8... both are looking Up.
I would recommend you to also check tutorials on how the "cat" command works (it is easy, though... it only prints the contents of a file into the terminal) and about piping. That would give you a better understanding on what that command is doing
Best,

Dear Raphael,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Since I am not familiar with Unix, may I ask you how I should write in Microsoft batch file for following part?
cat points | rtrace -h -ab 1 -I uni.oct | rcalc -e 'SVF=$1;$1=SVF;'
Especially, I could not figure out what points mean.
Thank you.
Katsuya

Hello
A simple approach is to compute the illuminance level under a uniform sky.
First define a uniform sky (uni.rad) like this:
void glow sky_glow
0
0
4 0.318309886 0.318309886 0.318309886 0
sky_glow source sky
0
0
4 0 0 1 180
Note that the radiance value 0.318309886=1/PI This makes the illuminance value computed for an unobstructed horizontal plane equal to 1 and this matches in fact the SVF value!
To compute SVF values for several points, then use rtrace with option -I like this:
oconv uni.rad >uni.oct
cat points | rtrace -h -ab 1 -I uni.oct | rcalc -e 'SVF=$1;$1=SVF;'
where points is a file where calculation points are stored as:
x y z xdir ydir zdir
For instance using these three points you can check that SVF values are well computed as 1 for an horizontal plane and 0.5 for vertical planes:
0 0 0 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 1 0 0
Of course SVF values are usually more interesting to compute for scenes containing objects... These should be defined in a scene file and then merged in the octree before doint the SVF calculations:
oconv uni.rad myscene.rad >scene.oct
cat points | rtrace -h -ab 1 -I scene.oct | rcalc -e 'SVF=$1;$1=SVF;'
Hope this will help you!

Objet : [Radiance-general] Any method to calculate sky view factor in Radiance?
Dear all,
I want to calculate sky view factor.
Trying to find in google, I could not find solid information which I can refer to.
Could anyone tell me what kind of approach I can have to calculate sky view factor?
Thank you.
Katsuya
