Wrong shadowing calculation on windows with triangle based surfaces

I have simulated the following boxes: image description

AS you can see:

  • All of them have a 1x1 window
  • In H1 and h3 the base surface is a square
  • In H2 and H4 the base surface is a triangle

I have reported the variable "Surface Window Transmitted Solar Radiation" and the results show there is no shadowing for the H4 window:
