Question When I want to save the work of TracePro into the IGES/STEP format, a message appears that tells me no such feature exists, and another message tells me that IGES/STEP Translator is required for data translation. One other problem is that when I save the work of TracePro as a SAT file,...
Question IES File format Synopsis IES File format Solution "I have attached an example IES file to help me to respond to your question. Please make note of the fifth line in the file: 1 10.000000 1.0 19 1 1 1 0 0 0 These values in the IES file, from left to right, represent the following (items 3.4...
Question The instant I open a volume flux file TracePro crashes. The identical file and procedure work on another machine. I have tried ..... to no avail. I really need a fix for this! What can you suggest? Synopsis TracePro crashes when viewing a Volume Flux file - incompatibility with MacroMagic ...
Question Opening a STEP file, the object is not visible unless it is selected, and after a while, I determined that the object appears white against the white TracePro background, so I changed the color. I am not sure whether this is on purpose or not, but I have to select all surfaces to change...
Question "I generated a ray file using ProSource 5.2 and inserted a source into TracePro. Everything looks reasonable, I just have a question regarding units: The ProSource file shows a peak intensity of 0.26 Candela while TracePro gives 0.24 W/sr as the peak intensity on the Iso-Candela plot. If I...
Question Why do I see "Warning Message - out of valid wavelength range (400 to 700)", and how can I resolve the problem? Synopsis Warning Message - out of valid wavelength range (400 to 700) Solution TracePro 7.2.0 introduced a new feature in TracePro. If you select any Material Property in the...
Question If a source which has a specific spectral profile is used for raytracing, how is the power, in FC or in lumen whichever, in each wavelength calculated? I'd like to know the relation between the weighting of each wavelength in RaytraceOption/Wavelength and the set flux power on...
Question I am using automatic importance sampling and for some surfaces, the Prescription is being set to -1. Why does this happen?
Question How do I rotate a block in Scheme? Synopsis Rotating objects with TracePro macros. Solution The (edit:rotate) command is used to rotate a given object or list of objects. The simple example below creates a cone and rotates the cone by 45 degrees. ; Create a cone centered at the origin...
Question I have found that the value of Max Candelas reported at the bottom of the Polar Iso-Candela Plot and the Rectangular CandelaDistribution are different. However, when smoothing is ON, the values are much closer. Why is there such a variation in the Max Candela value that is reported?
