[Radiance-general] FW: BSDF Material Error

[J. Alstan Jakubiec]

Hi Islam,

The error you see is an artifact of the wxFalsecolor program trying to  
open a failed simulation file.

For DIVA-specific help it makes sense to move this discussion to the  
http://diva4rhino.com/ support forums. But in this case, you can figure  
out the explicit error by editing the  
C:\DIVA\Temp\RhinoFileName\Filename_img.bat file to include a PAUSE at the  
last line. Then just run the batch file, and you should see the error  
message direct from Radiance. With that in hand, we can probably help more.

Best,
Alstan
