[Radiance-general] IES File Manipulation

[Mark de la Fuente]

Will this work with feet?  My IES file looks like this...  Note that the
IES file was converted in feet with a .81 light loss factor, then the
lboxcorr dimensions are in meters, and then my genbox is in feet again. 
(Note the insertion point is the top of the fixture at 0,0,0).
 
The fixture looks right.. the distribution is no longer shadowing
itself, so it looks right....
 
Sound good?
