[Radiance-general] rcontrib: fatal - duplicate modifer 'M-nor'

[Reinier Zeldenrust]

Hi all,

I'm running a three phase method analysis and am running into some funny behaviour. I generated windows using Honeybee msh2rad, converting a Rhino mesh to a radiance geometry file via TurtlePyMesh & obj2rad.

When I generate my view matrix, it works fine for some windows, but not for others - and there's no clear difference in geometry between those that work and those that don't work. My command is:
                Rfluxmtx -ab 4 -ad 5000 -y 81 < ChEast.pts - windows_pts/window_04.rad material.rad ChEast.rad > viewpts_04.mtx

And the error I get is:
rcontrib: fatal - duplicate modifer 'M-nor'

My daylight and sky matrices work for fine for all of the windows, so I don't know what it is. Any idea what can cause this kind of behaviour? Does rfluxmtx need perfectly flat / regularly shaped objects?

Thanks,
Reinier
