[Radiance-general] 3ds Max -> sketchup -> su2rad ?

[Claus Brøndgaard Madsen]

Hi Thomas,

After removing the .tmp files export now works just fine ...

Regarding convert.exe ... what is it, where does it come from, any chances I can get it somewhere?

Already late for a meeting, but had to check export first :-)

Cheers,
Claus

Thanks a million. I'm off to bed now ... Will continue tomorrow after work. Too busy during daytime to work on this :-)
