[Radiance-general] Instances

[Jack de Valpine]

Hi Roberto,

I do not think that you can do that. Here is one approach that would work:

    assume an octree of material/geometry that is to be used as an
    instance: object.oct
    NOTE this probably should be a "frozen" octree

    define: instance.rad

        void instance object
        4 object.oct -t 0 0 0
        0
        0

    then you can do one of the following:

    define: array.rad

        !xform -a 10 -t 1 0 0 -a 10 -t 0 1 0 instance.rad

    OR

    do: xform -a 10 -t 1 0 0 -a 10 -t 0 1 0 instance.rad > array.rad


Note also that you could use markers and replmarks to achieve deploying 
an instance object repeatedly.

Regards,

-Jack
