HI!
 
I'm new to the OpenStudio plugins and I am now designing a building for my project. Everything is perfectly fine until I found my missing component which is the tree shading. Is there a way to simulate the shading of the tree?
 
Any help is welcome.
 
Thanks in advance!

You can use shading surfaces, and add a transmittance schedule if you want to represent seasonal changes in the tree.
