[Radiance-general] Questions about uniform sky

Hi,
I'm just trying to understand a few things about using a uniform sky.
1. With a uniform sky, how can I determine the theoretical irradiance or
illuminance at 0,0,0 looking straight up? I'm currently testing a
polygon on the z=0 plane and I get a slight variance in the illumination
across that surface, due to slight errors in the calcs I presume. What
I need is the theoretical exact value...
2. With a uniform sky, will the position of my test plane matter? ie.
If I translate the plane from the origin +10000 in the Z direction, will
the illumination on that plane still be identical?
Thanks,
Chris
