IES files - units

I see the problem with the file. It doesn't specify the full 360 degrees, instead stopping short at 355 degrees.

Not sure what the correct behavior is, should we generate zeros to get the full 360?

Hi,

Maybe reuse the data point at 0° for the missing part?

Man, brainfart. Yes that's what I initially thought, then for some reason I was thinking it stopped at 345, ie missing 3 data points...

But yes, if only the last one is missing then I think we should just reuse 0 deg.

Looks like the issue was forgotten, so i've entered it in mantis now: http://www.luxrender.net/mantis/view.php?id=1216

Trying to do a 3d contest, I encountered the same problem about IES file.

"Error: 4] invalid horizontal angles in IES file"

After some investigations I found the solution.
I was helped by this guide
http://www.vuw.ac.nz/architecture-onlin ... ormat.html

In my IES file I have the last horizontal angle as 355.
In that IES guide there is wrotten
"The last angle determines the degree of lateral symmetry displayed by the intensity distribution. If it is 0 degrees, the distribution is axially symmetric. If it is 90 degrees, the distribution is symmetric in each quadrant. If it is 180 degrees, the distribution is symmetric about a vertical plane. If it is greater than 180 degrees and less than or equal to 360 degrees, the distribution exhibits no lateral symmetries. All other values are invalid."

So I've changed my last value to 360 instead of 355 and now luxrender is fine...no more error.
Do you think it's possible to give into the log a message that suggest to use 90, 180 or 360??
