Patch 14-16 (Thru Version 2.00.16 of June 30, 1997) including patch 13, 14 and 15.

Note: You must have version 2.00.12 already installed for this patch. If you have a previous version installed, please refer to one of the patches below.

• Patch16:
  SUPERLITE: parameter files (*.def) do include the SUPERLINK information
  RADLINK: Bug fixed for file handling, read/write files and calculation
  RADLINK/SUPERLINK: calculation fixed when shading type is set to "none"
  

  Patch15:
  SUPERLITE: parameter files (*.def) do include the SUPERLINK information
  

  Patch14:
  SUPERLINK: SUPERLINK files used to link the last SUPERLITE file which was created when importing the Scribe Model. When saving the *.src file with a new name this link was kept, thus no changes were saved when changing the SUPERLITE options after opening such a file. Now the correct link to the *.in file is saved..
  RADLINK : major bug fix concerning file handling and calibration of data
  PLINK : default options were changed: no abiente light (-av 0.0 0.0 0.0) is used for calculations and one abient bounce (-ab 1) is used for low quality caculation.
  RADLINK : The number of abiente bounces can be set even for the low quality calulations.
  SUPERLITE Graphics: Plot is only possible if not more than 20 nodes are used in each axis direction on the work surfaces. Work around: Use coarser grid (see Edit|General... dialog)
  

  Patch13:
  RADLINK/SUPERLINK: A bug was fixed concerning file selection of the holiday file.
  RADLINK: A bug was fixed so multiple nodes can be selected for calculation know. RADLINK: The function of the OK button within the RADLINK options/site definition dialog was fixed.

Patch 12 (Version 2.00.12 of December 17, 1996)

This patch requires

Note:The LBNL distribution always includes the latest patches as of the date of order. Check your floppy disk labels for the applicable version number before downloading or applying any patches.

This patch fixes the following bugs: Note: This is a complete patch you do not have to get any previous patch.

• SUPERLITE: This version provides a work-around for a problem that appears when a model without enclosure surface is saved from the user interface program: a wrong enclosure id is set for windows without enclosure. The bug is not yet fixed, but this version prevents program crash. Messages showing the enclosure id will be shown onscreen when the model is saved. These messages can be ignored.
• SUPERLITE: Two bugs concerning electric lighting were fixed: first luminaires were not rotated correctly when the model was rotated, second electric lighting was not calculated when there was no natural light from the outside. The remarks from patch 9 are still valid.
• SUPERLITE: Superlite Plots are now correct for models on the southern hemisphere.
• PLINK: a bug was fixed concerning the conversion of 11xx layer from Scribe-Modeller-Files.

Known Problems and Unfixed Bugs

• SUPERLITE: As of version 2.00.09 a work-around exists for a problem that appears when a model without enclosure surface is saved from the user interface program: a wrong enclosure id is set for windows without enclosure. Messages showing the enclosure id will be shown onscreen when the model is saved. These messages can be ignored.
• SUPERLITE/PLINK: PLINK uses a tolerance of .2 SCRIBE-units to determine if two surfaces are coplanar. This could lead to problems, especially if luminaire groups are drawn very close to the ceiling of a model, since the current SUPERLITE version does not allow luminaire groups to be cut off from any other surface. This means, for instance, that if the user draws in meters and a luminaire group is not more than 20 cm under the ceiling, the luminaire group and the ceiling are considered to be coplanar. This may lead to a program crash in SUPERLITE. We will try to fix this problems a.s.a.p.
• SUPERLITE Graphics: Plot is only possible if not more than 20 nodes are used in each axis direction on the work surfaces. Work around: Use coarser grid (see Edit|General... dialog)
