Overhang shading does not affect my results!

Hi, I am new at openstudio and I'm having problems with overhang shading. I looked for the answer on this site but unfortunately I did not found it.

I add the overhang with the tool of openstudio "Add Overhang With Projection Factor". After that I created a "Transmittance Schedule" call "Shadow" which value of this shcedule is zero all the time and a construction call "Pilares" as you . Finally I run openstudio and i realised that overhang results does not affect my previous one. In the ERR file show the following error: " * Warning * Shading effects of Fins and Overhangs are ignored when Solar Distribution = MinimalShadowing" I do not understand what I did wrong, someone can help , please?

Thanks for your time.
