Let me know if you have more questions on this and if Radiance works, otherwise please accept as a solution so that others can benefit from this information. Please note that Radiance is very sensitive to path name so make sure it is installed under the C: drive by itself and never put any spaces in the rad file names or directory or it will not work. If you want a rendering, use the "Final Render" option in step 2 of 9 and "Display image on completion".Īfter all the other settings are chosen and the DOS is done doing the calculations, the Image Viewer should come up automatically with your rendering. I do not recommend you to use the "Interactive render" option. You should now get all green check marks and note that your installation looks fine. Look for your rad.exe file which should be in the Radiance folder (under your C: drive) and bin folder.ģ. In the step 8 of 9 of the wizard, click the little "Fix" button.Ģ.
And now during the AIA 2009 Convention they announced Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010, the latest version of the software that offers improved integration with Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 and Autodesk Revit MEP 2010.Īnd continuing with the teaching spirit of the original version of Ecotect, Autodesk has launched the Autodesk Guide to Sustainable Design, a new free online resource for designers that illustrates sustainable design principles, decisions and technologies for every phase of the building project lifecycle.It sounds as if Ecotect does not know where your Radiance.exe is.ġ. Well, these software was acquired by Autodesk as of last year and was released as Autodesk Ecotect 2009. Also, during the process of analysis, it shows you on a very didactic way new terms and how they affect the project.Įasy, fast and accurate. I gotta say that is a very easy to use tool, with a very short learning curve that lets you conduct several analysis on the design phase of your projects, such as shading, energy consumption, airflow, acoustics, lighting, etc. A few years ago i started using Ecotect v4 for energy analysis on projects.
