Prismatic glazing in radiance PMAP

Hi,

I am trying to model a simple sheet of prismatic glazing, but am unclear of
the dimension variable set out in the PMAP user manual for the prism
command.

Could anyone please forward me a drawing or sketch of what this command is
based?

Kind regards,

Anthony

Dimension variable? If you're referring to the -ds parameter, that affects the resolution with which the light source surfaces are sampled during photon emission. Are you referring to the prism material or the genprism command?

Are there any validations of pmap? If desired, I can make measured data available for some prismatic glazings as shown at www.siteco.de. See http://www.siteco.de/products/tageslichtsysteme/?currency=EUR&lang=en&javascript=true Click on "large panel prism systems".
