[Radiance-general] Help with converting using optics2glazedb

[Greg Ward]

Hi Aditya,

There is a Perl version of the script, called "optics2rad.pl".  I don't think it gets installed by default, but you can find it in the ray/src/cv directory and install it yourself.

There are a few problems with your file.  Mainly, neither version of optics2rad can handle underscores in the material name.  I had to change those out for '.' or remove them.  Here are the outputs I get:

# Output generated by /usr/local/ray/optics2rad from /Users/gward/Desktop/CLR_6.rad
#
# FileName= CLR_6.AFG
# Product Name= Float Glass
# NFRC ID= 890
# Manufacturer Name= AGC Glass Co. N.A.
# Glazing Type= Monolithic
# Coated Side= Neither
# Transmittance= 0.883
# Front Reflectance= 0.076
# Back Reflectance= 0.076
# Thickness(mm)= 5.715
# Appearance= Clear
#

FInally, we are moving Q&A over to the Radiance Discourse server <discourse.radiance-online.org/top>, which is unfortunately out of commission today....
