[Radiance-general] task plane illuminance

[Giugi]

I'd say, go the purist way, use radiance on unix
learn the meaning of rtrace.
you can create text files filled with point locations and sensor normals, then with rtrace measure you preferred metrics.
file like
x y z nx ny nz
and then 
rtrace -all_the_settings_you_like model.oct < your_grid_of_points > results.out
I am fairly sure that you will find some more guidance here in the old emails or on the internet in form of tutorials.
I may suggest to look a little here, slightly out of date but still very useful:
RADIANCE Tutorial
good luck
