You can ask on the Radiance mailing list for Rendering time but that depends largely on your scene and the purpose of The grid spacing is fixed to 0.25m in x an y and the directionĤ) I don't know how you could "optimize" the results. During the export this polygon will be exported to a *.ptsįile with points in the global coordinate system (i.e. Polygon (or more than one) and give it a name. With the offset tool and delete the outer ring). Then create a polygon on this layer to represent your work plane (forĮxample copy the floor to the work plane height, then "shrink" the boundary Single file, including any optional transformations.ģ) To create an analysis grid you have to create a layer called "numeric". Xform reads all the referenced files and combines their content into a The simplest option is probably "by color".Ģ) You can create a single file by passing the scene *.rad file that is This is the most efficient way toĮxport complex scenes that have many detailed components like chairs or Group" option keeps the SketchUp scene structure with groups and componentsĪnd translates it to nested *.rad files. To study for example different wall reflectivity values. Models created in SketchUp to separate the building elements for Radiance "By color" separates theĮlements based on their SketchUp color or material. The model components like floors and walls etc. You don't need to reorganize your model to separate Models that have been imported from a CAD application and have the elements by group*: The "by layer" mode is useful for
Release although they are not fully tested.
I think that all the features that you require are already in the "alpha" Universidad del Bio-Bio Concepción, Chile

pts file, so if you know how to do that it would be extremely helpful.įinally, if there were any guidelines that you could provide of how to optimize the results, whether it is related to the model building or the exporting process, it would be much appreciated.ĭepartamento Diseño y Teoría de la Arquitectura Related to that, I wish to ask if there’s a way to obtain a single file that contents all the geometry in it, because so far I have found the best way is to export by layers but it creates multiple files that content the geometry (basically one file per layer) in the objects folder.Īlso, I’m struggling to find a way to create the analysis grid in Sketch Up (or within the plugin) in order to obtain a grid. First I’d like to ask, how would you recommend exporting the files to radiance in order to achieve the best results (by colour, by layer or by group)?. I installed the Sketch Up to Radiance plugin (su2rad_1.0.alpha version), and there are some doubts about the exporting process I wish to ask if you can help me with.
Thank you for the information provided in your website, it has been very helpful.I am attempting to run Radiance simulation via Sketch Up 8 pro (instead of doing it through Ecotect).
