Hello,

I've studied the impact of "Shading:Overhang:Projection" and ""Shading:Fin:Projection". I have set tilt angle to 90°and the fractions of window door equal to 1 and I compare it to manual shading objects similar to projection description. The result are not equal and I wondering why ?

Secondly I have detected than using depth shading element have a big impact on solar window transmitted value ?!

Hello everyone, I investigated the problem and it seems that there is a problem with horizontal shade.

I compare manual flate shade impact with two geometry's rule convention: clockwise and counterclockwise (I manage the vertex order). The result is : with clockwise convention the solar tranmistted is twice reduce than with counterclokwise convention ! I suppose problem is with counterclockwise convention. In my previous post, the thickness of the shade block has big impact. It expect that because vertical shades have impact while it must not.
