[Radiance-general] BSDF with rtcontrib

[nassif nassif]

Hallo Andy,

thank you for your reply.

I looked through the Tutorial you advised about. I realised the generated
results are for one day. In our office we are using the .EPW to generate
the results for the whole year. (as used in the tutorial in rtcontrib). Is
it possible with BSDF somehow? if yes, Is there any hints or tips to insert
the .xml format generated by window7beta into the rtcontrib process?

Thanks in advance!
