       _T_h_f_2_r_a_d  converts  one  or  more  GDS  things files to a RADIANCE scene
       description.  The  material  names  for  the  surfaces  will  be  those
       assigned  in  GDS.   The _-_n option may be used to give a name prefix to
       all the surfaces.  The _-_r option may be used to specify  a  radius  for
       line  segments.  By default, this value is zero, which means that lines
       will be ignored.  By setting it to some positive  value,  cylinders  of
       the given radius will represent lines.

       To  translate  two  things files into one RADIANCE file with the prefix
       "gds":

         thf2rad -n gds building1.thf building2.thf > building1+2.rad

       To create an octree directly from a things file, giving lines a  radius
       of .1:

         oconv  source.rad  materials.rad  '\!thf2rad  -r  .1 building1.thf' >
         building1.oct
