[Radiance-general] Errors with 'gendaymtx' and 'dctimestep'

[Andy McNeil]

Hi Alireza,

Error #1:
The problem and solution is explained here:
https://unmethours.com/question/10921/how-do-i-use-the-5-option-of-gendaymtx/

Error #2:
Have you checked that your daylight matrix uses the same sky subdivision as
the sky matrix? The default for gendaymtx is 145 sky divisions.
