Adding shading elements with defined area

Hi all,

Any thoughts on whether there is a way to customize&automate adding shading components through GH plug-in for the below case? Apparently, built-in command PO_AddApertureShades does not provide a clear solution.

Here is an example of the shading component that we are trying to model. As far as we understand, we can only automate shading element generation near windows.

Thanks,

Hi @hlkocalioglu, How does the desired shade would look like? Do you need to group the shades on each floor and create a shade around all of them?

If you can share a single floor of your model, I can show you how to do that in Grasshopper. The Rhino command doesn’t have such flexibility.

Also, why don’t you just select those objects as shade elements in Revit when you export the model?

Hi @mostapha - This is a great example of how to avoid unnecessary complexity when it comes to providing a simple yet elegant solution:). Exporting only shading elements just worked well.

Thanks,
Levent
