# Line 179 | Line 179 | The RADIANCE library path will be searched if the file
179   with a '.' or '~' character.
180   This file must contain an LBNL Window 6 XML specification of a valid
181   BSDF for the given surface, and all rays will be interpreted through
182 < this function.
182 > this function, which may be produced by the Radiance
183 > .I genBSDF(1)
184 > program.
185   The orientation of the BSDF may be controlled with the
186   .I u
187   setting, described below.
186 The thickness of the surface may be controlled with the
187 .I t
188 setting.
188   If this variable has no setting or an integer is specified,
189   .I mkillum
190   returns to the default behavior of computing the output distribution
# Line 227 | Line 226 | Set the surface thickness to
226   .I real
227   in world coordinates.
228   This value is used for determining where to start rays that need to begin
229 < on the opposite side of the surface, specifically to compute the incoming
230 < distribution for a BSDF computation.
231 < The default value is 0.
229 > on the opposite side of a fenestration system, specifically
230 > to compute the incoming distribution for a BSDF computation.
231 > If the thickness is set to 0 and a BSDF contains detailed geometry,
232 > it will be translated and output as part of the new description, provided the

237   .SH EXAMPLES
238   The following command generates illum's corresponding to geometry
