[Radiance-general] Re: Radiance Geometry Export to Rhino

[R Fritz]

[A very late note on this]

What I found worked best was:
> rad2mgf file.rad | mgf2inv -vrml >file.vrml

Quite complex geometry came in very satisfactorily and Rhino (Mac WIP, 
v5) imported the resulting VRML without difficulty, creating Rhino 
meshes.

The following note from Greg must also be kept in mind:
> MGF requires that identifiers begin with a letter, and they can't

Thank you, Greg.
