Shading SmartPart, roller shutters, elements

You can define settings for the Built-on Roller Shutters SmartPart.

Notes: You can insert SmartParts for roller shutters in rectangular window openings.
If you assign a separate roller shutter SmartPart to a window SmartPart, the program handles these elements as independent elements. This has various effects on how you can use layers and analyze data using reports.
The two SmartParts can reside on different layers.
You can analyze roller shutter SmartParts using the Reports tool, Roller shutters.rdlc file (component ID and dimensions of window opening are also analyzed) and the Shading.rdlc file (results are grouped by shading type and dimensions of window opening). To analyze window SmartParts, you can use various files provided by the Reports tool, such as, Windows.rdlc or Windows (details).rdlc.
