[Alireza Hashemloo]

Hello,

I have encountered two errors with gendaymtx and dctimestep with the five
phase method tutorial that I would appreciate if you could help me with:

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Radiance 5.0.8
Command Line Environment: Terminal


Error #1

Command:

$ gendaymtx -5 -d -m 6 -of skies/OakLand.wea >
matrices/OakLand_direct_m6.smx

Error Message:

gendaymtx: missing solar disk size argument for '-5' option



Error #2

Command:

$ dctimestep -n 8760 -if -o hourlypics/back_%04d.hdr viewpics/back_%03d.hdr
\
bsdf/fullwindow.xml matrices/daylightmatrix.dmx matrices/OakLand.smx

Error Message:

fatal - improper length for binary file 'matrices/Oakland_direct.smx'


description: the 'Oakland_direct.smx' has been generated by the following
command:

$ gendaymtx -of -d skies/OakLand.wea > matrices/OakLand_direct.smx


Thank you for your help,
Alireza
