This is not an answer to the OP. I see you have reframed this as a new question; please delete this non-answer.

First of all, findglare and glareindx are fairly old programs in the Radiance suite. Since their publication, an entire

The question is specific to illuminance map data, which is not supported at all by the current version of OpenStudio or

Well, this is interesting. If you are certain the commands and the input are identical, then let's see your commands and

This is an entirely different question, to be honest. Please restate this comment as a new question.

The issue here was measure order. The Radiance measure needs to be last in the model measure workflow.

Yep, got it, cannot reproduce, sent you a PM.

Cannot duplicate. Can you post your model someplace and I can try and take a look?

Looks like a possibnle incompatibility with the new OpenStudio that has thus far slipped by the testing. I'll take a loo
