[Radiance-general] Problems with RAD

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

At first blush, that looks like maybe you don't have your current directory (".") in your search path. Assuming those two files are in your current dir, try:

oconv ./mod3.rad ./summer_sky.rad > summer.oct

If that works, then you can add "." to your path.

Hi everyone,

I am having a weird issue with the RAD command. Radiance is running on my machine: I checked my scene before and had no issue with using oconv on my scenes and then using rvu to check out the octree. But once I set set up my .rif file and run "rad summer.rif" I get the following error:

oconv mod3.rad summer_sky.rad > summer.oct
oconv: system - cannot open scene file "mod3.rad": No such file or directory
rad: error generating octree
summer.oct removed

If I change the filename in my .rif for mod3.rad I get a different error ("no such file") so it should be pointing to the right file. Any suggestions? I'm running radiance on a Windows7 machine. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the files from NREL's openstudio site. Any suggestions? I've attached my files - they're pretty simple.

Thanks,
Alex Krickx
