Add Site Shading To Your Model

Once we have completed the Drawing of Zones, applying Site considerations are for the number of Building Levels, Shading and Renewable Energy applications are then considered.

Shading is added at the aspect level but also the Site level. It provides large planar surfaces to account for horizontal and vertical shading applications at any height or dimension. It is also used to control shading opacity, to take into account glazed shading devices.

Navigate to the 'Shading' button in the Site area to add Shading. Select 'Draw Zones' and then draw a shading device you would like to consider in your model. Give it a title, and then click 'Set'. Next, left-click the newly drawn device and set its Opacity and Gap (height above ground). Click 'Save'.
