Hi all,
I am using accelerad to perform the sun coefficients part of five phase method. The script can be downloaded from here:
One of the images I got is all black like this:

Though accelerad doesn't support the material BSDF, I used the material glazing for accelerad_rcontrib but the images are abnormal. And then I used rcontrib and I got normal images where light exists:

Is there something need to be fix for accelerad_rcontrib?

In a similar problem on the Radiance discourse site, we discovered that this problem is caused by the use of su2rad to create the model. There is a known bug in su2rad that prevents it from exporting holes in surfaces to Accelerad, such as the hole into which the window was placed in this model.
