Hello everyone.<br><br>If there is enough interest in this file format I could add an import option to SU2RAD at some point.<br>I have not been able to get information about this format from the web site so I can't tell how much<br>
work this would be or how long it would take me.<br><br>There is also a plug in for gbXML that could be used to load geometry into Sketchup:<br><br><a href="http://sketchup.google.com/green/analysis.html">http://sketchup.google.com/green/analysis.html</a><br>

<div>The issue that arises is DOE2 geometry is only 2D. So if DrawBDL is not a 2D to 3D converter you would need to write a ruby subscript in order to accommodate. Once you can get the inp* geometry to idf* (2D to 3D) it should be no problem. There might be something on the internet that may do such a thing, but programmers that know how do to such a thing would probably only take a few days or less to figure it out.</div>

<li>Subject: [Bldg-sim] DOE-2 INP file to Radiance RAD file</li></ul>
<div>Dear all,</div></div>
<p>Has anyone tried to utilize geometry information from an existing eQUEST/DOE-2 model's input file to create geometry for a Radiance daylighting model in the *.RAD file format? (without having to build the geometry again from scratch I mean)</p>
<p>Theoretically I could come up with the following route but haven't tested it yet:<br>Export *.INP to *.IDF using DrawBDL –> open the IDF file using OpenStudio in Sketch UP --> export to Radiance file format *.RAD using the Sketch Up plugin SU2RAD.</p>
<p>Any ideas? Thanks,</p>
