Hi, in DesignBuilder you define internal and external shading separately in the Openings tab. Internal shading options can be seen under the "Window Shading" header, and external shading options under the "Local Shading" header. You can find more information on these inputs by searching for "shading" in the Program Help: https://designbuilder.co.uk/helpv7.0/#search-shading. You can also see how these can be applied in our free online video tutorials: https://designbuilder.co.uk/training/tutorials. As a general guide, I would always start with the Help and tutorials when you are new to DesignBuilder, and then if necessary you can access our on-demand training that covers the subjects in more depth: https://designbuilder.co.uk/buy-online-training
