Once again:

1) create a grid for the room
2) set the height for the grid to your work plane height
3) export to Radiance and make sure to set the option to export the grid as
well
4) execute the *.bat file created by Ecotect
5) load the *.dat file that created by the *.bat file
6) use the Ecotect features to visualise the results

If you need help with Ecotect please contact Autodesk for support.

Radout is not part of Autocad. You have to download and install it. You can
find information on radout on Georg Mischler's page:

I don't know if the offered versions still work on Autocad 2009.
