To Create Shading

Make sure "Consider Shading From External Buildings" is checked on in the Properties for: Project dialog.
  1. Use the Add Shading Elements tools such as Add Slab, Cone, Cylinder or Add Shape and Extrude Shape to create a 3D solid to use as the shading object.
  2. Select (Create Shading), click on the 3D object, and reset.

    A new folder "Shading Objects" appears in the Project Tree containing the new shading object (Shade 1).

  3. Run a Simulation.
  4. Go to Result Viewer tab and review the "Zone Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Rate" results.
