[Radiance-general] Three Phase Simulation rfluxmtx switches for view mtx

[Christopher Rush]

Hi Sandi,
Are you entering the tutorial commands into a script and running it, copying and pasting them onto the command line, or typing them by hand onto the command line? I'm asking to help rule out any issues with character recognition by the terminal interface from various text formats. Also are you operating on Windows, Mac, or other? And is there anything notable about your system setup - or just a standalone computer with physical keyboard and no remote or virtual interfaces?

If you were copying and pasting anything, can you try typing the commands by hand into the terminal in case any whitespace or newline characters weren't being copied correctly? Does that make any difference?

It doesn't sound like the radiance installation, because it looks like the executables are being recognized through the terminal. Just in case anyone else thinks of something though, what installation package did you use to install Radiance?

-Chris

When I use the example lines from the documents above to create a vmtx, I have a recurring issue with -vf. The bash will say "rfluxmtx: cannot load -vf". I posted earlier this month about something similar and all I had to do is retype the switch as it copied in a dash not a hyphen. I thought this issue might be the same case however "rfluxmtx: cannot load -vf" still appears. If I delete -vf file.vf  I will get another error saying "rfluxmtx: cannot load -x" and this continues with all the other switches.

When I use Sarith's view matrix example I get the same thing but for -ab: "rfluxmtx: cannot load -ab".
