[Radiance-general] Help!

[Philip Brogan]

Can anyone tell me if 3d max is certified daylighting calculation
software? I guess what I'm asking is, is it suitable for use in design
engineers to use as proof of compliance with design standards?

Hi Marina,

Looks about right to me -- does it reproduce the combined  
transmittance and reflectance you're measuring?  Are the interfaces  
separated by an air gap, or are some/all layers laminated with an  
optical adhesive?  In the latter case, the functions in glaze2.cal  
won't compute the correct combined transmittance and reflectances.
