Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've got a model from an architect, built in Rhino, that I need to get<br>
into Radiance. Typically we do this via Ecotect, exporting 3ds files<br>
from Rhino, importing into Ecotect, and using Ecotect to generate my rad<br>
files. However, this model is just a mess once it's imported into<br>
Ecotect - even the flat facades are a mess of triangles, and the reduce<br>
coincident triangles/polygons command is all but worthless. The Rhino<br>
model is actually fairly complex, it's a masterplan with 20 or so<br>
towers, but even doing just one building is going to take me a day to<br>
clean up. Does anyone have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Cramer<br>

Hi Cramer,<br>
<br>
try obj2rad. Therefore you simply have to export parts of the model as<br>
Wavefront(*.obj) in rhino.<br>
Then you can convert them with: obj2rad *.obj > *.rad.<br>
<br>
Afterwards it's pretty simple and fast to import these *.rad files into<br>
ecotec again.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Kai<br>
