[Radiance-general] Sketchup exporter script

[steve michel]

RAYPATH is set with an absolute path from root pointing to the radiance lib and bin directories. I tried ".:/path" and "/path" and get the same error. It seems that xform is at fault becasue when I $cat the missing files from the project directory I get the listed file content.

the su2rad  is not at fault since it worked prior to changes i made:

Adding RAYPATH in the etc/paths file.
and MANPATHS to point to te radiance man pages.

HOWEVER: when I noticed that the !xform -n option is not listed in the xform syntax..
could it be a sketchup  export option at fault?



regards and thanks
Steve
