lherrero01 commented 9 months ago

Hi,

I'm getting started on bifacial_radiance and, after completing the installation, I get the following issue during the linescan, after generating the oct file:

Captura

I have already checked that:

Radiance\bin is on my system variable PATH
rtrace.exe file is located on the Radiance\bin
raynit.cal is located on the Radiance\lib

Hi! Welcome and thanks for the question. Can you try adding the lib folder to the path as well? That's where rayinit.cal is located at

lherrero01 commented 9 months ago

Hi, I have added the lib folder to the path, but I still get the same error.

shirubana commented 9 months ago

which version of radiance, operating system do you have?

lherrero01 commented 9 months ago

I'm using the latest official release, Radiance 5.3 (2020-09-03) on Windows 10.

shirubana commented 9 months ago

do you have them as environment variables on Systems Variables or User Variables? (bottom vs top of the environment variables window)

lherrero01 commented 9 months ago

I have them on System Variables.
