+# View3D Integration Scripts #

+## Justification for New Feature ##
+The View3D program that ships with EnergyPlus allows users to compute much more accurate view factors but use of the tool is not well automated.
+EnergyPlus is shipping with Python scripts that do not come with the same security risks associated with the macro driven spreadsheets that are
+currently shipped. Similar functionality can be obtained with Python scripts that extract the relevant information from the inputs and outputs of
+EnergyPlus and View3D to get what EnergyPlus needs to use the externally calculated view factors.
+
+## Overview ##
+A Python script will be developed to read in the EnergyPlus epJSON representation of a model and the generate the appropriate View3D input file.
+Optionally, the script will execute View3D to compute the factors and insert the factors into the epJSON.
+
+## Approach ##
+The Python script will be written as script that can also be used as a module. Only features of the Python standard library will be used in order
+to preserve maximum portability. Geometry rules will be respected by the script.

+
+## Reference Documentation ##
+
+Appropriate documentation of the script will be provided, potentially in the auxiliary programs documentation. 
+
+## Input Description ##
+
+The script will be used as follows:
+
+`$ python generateView3D.py <options> FILE`
+
+where `FILE` is the epJSON to be processed. By default, if the script is asked to add the view factors into the model, the original
+file will be overwritten. Options will include
+
+`-z ZONE` or `-–zone ZONE`: process zone `ZONE`
+
+`-r` or `--run`: Run View3D to generate view factors and insert values into the epJSON file
+
+`-o OUTFILE` or `-–output OUTFILE`: Write epJSON output to `OUTFILE` so that the original file is left unchanged
+
+Additional options will be added as needed.
