thf2rad - convert GDS things file to RADIANCE description
thf2rad [ -n name ][ -r rad ] [ input .. ]
Thf2rad converts one or more GDS things files to a RADIANCE
scene description. The material names for the surfaces will
be those assigned in GDS. The -n option may be used to give
a name prefix to all the surfaces. The -r option may be
used to specify a radius for line segments. By default,
this value is zero, which means that lines will be ignored.
By setting it to some positive value, cylinders of the given
radius will represent lines.
To translate two things files into one RADIANCE file with
the prefix "gds":
thf2rad -n gds building1.thf building2.thf >
building1+2.rad
To create an octree directly from a things file, giving
lines a radius of .1:
oconv source.rad materials.rad `\!thf2rad -r .1
building1.thf' > building1.oct
