[Radiance-general] Question concerning genprism

[Greg Ward]

Try removing the "\" and just joining the lines in your file, like so:

 # using the modifier brown_satin_paint. create a polygon. named stool_top
 !genprism brown_satin_paint stool_leg_se  4  0.7 -0.7  0.7 -0.6  0.6 -0.6  0.6 -0.7  -l 0 0 2.5

I'm guessing that the Windows command line doesn't like the escaped newlines.

> Hi all:
> I’m learning Radiance and ran into an issue concerning genprism. According to the book, I typed down the command below. Whenever I tried to oconv the material1.rad & stool_1.rad, it gives me errors below. Someone using Linux system can fix the issue by setting the PATH environment. I already set the PATH, RAYPATH, and MANPATH in both .profile and .bashrc. I’m wondering if there’s any other way of solving the problem.
