[Radiance-general] Klems_full.cal: -b kbin(S-E)

[Greg Ward]

Hi Urtza,

You make it challenging to help you when you provide so little information in your posts.  This forces folks to ask silly follow-up questions, like "Where did you get your XML file and what is in it?"  Judging by the filename, it looks like it uses a non-standard (and non-square) BTDF matrix, which probably won't work with dctimestep.  That would make sense with the error you are seeing, but it can be no more than a guess without further clues from you.

Best,
-Greg
