Crossing over to the general list...

If you can create an octree from your model, try the command and option getinfo 
-d

That will return the dimensional information for your full scene though, so if 
there are objects included outside of your area of interest, it becomes more 
tricky.

Subject: [Radiance-dev] How to parse room dimensions from .rad model ?

Hello everyone,

It is a kind of weird question but thought to hear your views.

Let's say, someone gave me a .rad file which is a model of a rectangle room. 
This model has many polygons for surfaces such as walls, windows, luminaire, 
furniture etc.

How shall I develop a method/function that can parse this .rad file and return 
me back the room dimensions. I have no additional information, like walls' name 
variable etc.

I want to make a simple java method for that. I am not using any CAD API.

Is it possible? Please don't bash me for my stupid question.. :P

Best regards,
Vaib
