[Radiance-general] Create Octree File from SU2RAD

[Thompson, Ross]

Hi,

I am now looking to use radiance after learning daysim. I have successfully completed the tutorial and am now looking to produce renders from scenes set up in SketchUp.
Here is a link to the SketchUp output file:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uyokuvxiu9s1ifb/AAB5TXbez6p8-FAgl3EeR4f2a

My approach is to apply the OCONV function to the ‘test.rad’ file.
However unlike in the tutorial, materials and geometry are housed in separate directories.
 And I get the following errors:
oconv test.rad > test.oct
xform: cannot find file "objects/Material133.rad"
oconv: warning - (!xform objects/Material133.rad): empty file

 I don’t quite understand why the file can’t be found.
Am I using the correct approach?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ross
