At first, thank you so much for making the use of Radiance become easier than ever before.
I'm trying to use Radiance to assess the effectiveness of solar tubes in a specific building. The diffusers of solar tubes are modeled by BSDF files. But when I chose BSDF in LiVi Radiance Type and ran the simulation, nothing happened (Radiance didn't start). Then I replaced the diffusers of solar tubes by other type (glass, walls, etc.) and ran the simulation again, Radiance operated normally. I guess the BSDF option may not actually work as its intent. Could you please have a look at it (blender files and bsdf file are in the attachment)? Many thanks!!!
