External Shading

Post by tjhowarth »

In radiance in order to test the impact of external shading on internal day lighting levels I have switched the shading layer on/off in ModelIT but this doesn't seem to have any impact on day lighting levels. Is there any other way of doing it? How do I switch external shading on/off without deleting it?

Hi,

I think inactive layer shades are still recognised by the Radiance calculations unfortunately. Only suggestion is a save as of the model to remove them and then rerun the calcs
