Dear all,
Is there a way/software to open a radiance geometry file in *.RAD format and
visually check the geometry for accuracy? Especially on Windows OS when I do
not have any form of Radiance installed?
Thanks,
Ramana.
or just a geometry viewer...

Hi!

Well, besides installing Radiance and using it to check geometry, you can export your scenes to vrml(-1) and OpenInventor via the mgf-format, all necessary filters are part of Radiance. There is also a converter from Radiance into Wavefront OBJ, but it is limited to polygon objects (works well for my scenes coming from CAD, but will not work with more sophisticated geometry). For checking the resulting meshes, Meshlab may be a good choice, as it allows to apply lots of filter to support you finding errors in the mesh. It can read the mesh formats (as far as I remember all three of them - obj, vrml-1, openinventor) exported from Radiance and its filters.
Cheers, Lars.
Not an immediate solution but I plan to add Radiance scene file import to
Sketchup at some point.
