[Radiance-general] ies import

[Rob Guglielmetti]

Hi George,

You want to check out the manpage for "ies2rad", which is the Radiance
utility for converting an ies photometry file to a Radiance light source.
There are a bunch of options so read it over carefully, but it works very
well. ies2rad will read in the ies file and create a luminous source based
on the dimensions it finds in the ies file. The output is two files: a
.rad file that describes the luminaire and a .dat file that describes the
distribution. Using replmarks, another utility in Radiance, you can place
"markers" in your model that can be replaced with the luminaires you
create with the ies2rad utility.
