Hello

To export geometry from Autocad to Radiance with Relux you will need the  
ReluxCAD (plugin for Autocad). All geometry which Autocad can read can be  
exported to Relux and then to Radiance.

But there is another more direct way, the current version of Relux can  
also read 3DS (no textures), DXF (3d faces) and VRML directly. We are  
working on the limitations, esp. the texture import for 3DS. This  
geometries can then be exported to Radiance without having a licence.
