Introduction

The Graphic Editor (AutoCAD for this document) is where you create the 3-D representation of the geometry of the space you are designing. All of the AutoCAD native commands are available for this purpose. Desktop Radiance adds the "Radiance" menu item to the AutoCAD menubar.

It is from this menu that all Desktop Radiance commands are accessed. In most cases, you first select the command, and then follow the prompts to provide the requested information such as selecting the surfaces onto which you wish to perform some action. In some cases the command leads to a dialog box which requires your input. The following pages will explain each Radiance menu item in detail.
