Thanks All for your support.

Please Lars can you explain more about Brlcad and IGES? What Is the best
method for a beginner to start making 3D modeling to use in Daysim?

One other hint... for anyone who is entering the world of building 
models, I can recommend formZ. It combines CAD and modelling features 
and supports a broad range of 2d and 3d formats. We have used it with 
success to create models for Radiance via dxf (and then Schorsch's 
dxf2rad) and obj, and I have also verified that you could even use 
brlcad as a converter to keep all CAD data in IGES and convert 
iges-obj-Radiance (that would mean a neutral CAD standard linked to 
Radiance).

However the most important is to learn modeling for simulation is 
different from producing architectural drawings. And... I usually use a 
text editor for that reason, no CAD.

Cheers, Lars.
