How to simulate half-transparent shading device

[geshen516]

there are some kinds of building element type like canopy (laminated glass) which is made by half- transparent material?
How to simulate this?

Hi,

I don't know any way to edit the properties of your shading devices to represent this. In the past we've advised people to try represent this using the Shading Device options in the Constructions database and applying these to glazing that will benefit from the effects of the shading.

Hope this helps you a bit, sorry I can't be more useful this time - unless anyone else has experience or another method they'd like to share??
