[Radiance-general] REVIT to Radiance pipeline

[Bshara Rezik]

Hello Rob,

I had developed a Revit plugin for a Revit -> Radiance workflow in my
Master's thesis, but it lacked the ability to convert materials since it
actually used the dxf2rad component.

If it could  still help, feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
