Radiance Materials

On Compute we assign material preset to the geometry to apply the Radiance materials. You do this with the Radiance Material component.

Overriding Presets

All of the presets can be overridden with different values.

You override a preset by given it a JSON formatted string. The material overrides accepts the following format.

{
  "modifier": string, 
  "type": string,
  "identifier": string,
  "strings": List[string],
  "integers": List[int],
  "reals": List[float]
}

Window

This is a special definition and will be substituted by window_glow in case of running a 3 phase simulation. It is therefore not needed to make any overrides to the values, as they will be lost in the substitution. However, it is important to apply the bsdf override as it is in the bsdf file that the window properties are contained. You can see how to apply the override here
