You can also use text editor (Notepad++) to model your window blinds. For this you can follow the following steps:
1) Definition of blind properties by using WindowMaterial:Blind.
2) Construction of the window including blind material (the name used in step 1). e.g.
Construction,2001, !- Project external glazing - Material layer names follow:
38, !- Generic PYR B CLEAR 3MM
1002, !- AIR 13MM
2, !- Generic CLEAR 3MM
20001; !- Blind with high reflectivity slats
3) Then, you have to define the shading control by using WindowProperty:ShadingControl object.
I hope this will help. Please let me know if you want further explanation on any of these steps.
