The README describes how to run the View3D VS3file VFfile programs, but none of the other auxiliary programs.

For example, ViewGr, ViewEm, ViewHT, VS3fix, VFbintxt. See the attached document detailing the purposes of the additional auxiliary programs.

Can we readily provide support for these function calls?

I followed the posted directions to run the make file in the VS2012 command prompt, but the compilation failed. I was left with several unresolved external symbol errors, as shown in the image:

Any ideas?

Hey,

Is it possible to calculate the view factor from a point to a given set of surfaces?
I can't find anything about it in the documentation, but I seem to recall it been described in the original paper.

Cheers!

The functions VDOT, VDOTW, VCROSS appear in View3D. The purpose of these functions seems clear enough, they are not defined in the View3D source. Perhaps they are defined as part of a standard library?

Can anyone tell me where these functions are defined?

Thanks.

Executables compiled with 64 bit versions of the MinGW compilers will run but sometimes produce bad output, including for the Pinney and Bean (test 4) L-shaped room case. It is not clear what triggers the issue, but it appears to be related to obstructions, subsurfaces, or combination of surfaces.
