Solar protections and solar masks

Hello !

I'm trying to model solar protections and solar masks for a house.

Is there a more accurate way for modelling solar mask (closes ones and distances ones) than using the "reduction factor shading" ?


Thank you for your help,
Laurent

a new feature calculating the shading on components depending on all the other 3d-components and the position of the sun is under development.

Hello !

I install the new WUFI Plus 2.5.4.0.
The IBP support told me that with this new update an option is introduced for calculating shadows depending of sun position and 3D object.
This option is available in "conponent->surface->thermal->calculate shading from all elements.
However, I can't see the new option "calculate shading from all elements".

Can someone help me ?

Thank you !
