face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I had the same issue a while back and never
found a really good solution. I believe that building shades are only defined by
rectangles. I used 2 crossed rectangles (as shown below) and then assigned
shading schedules based on the types of trees they were. If you figure out a
better way, PLEASE SHARE!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><B>Simple Building Shade Question:<o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Can these be defined as polygons? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>Bonus Question (or, where am I going with
this?):<o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is it feasible to crunch a file containing only 2D shapes
through GBS to create an *.inp so we can be import these polygons/coordinates in
the correct format, which we could then assign to individual linked building
shades, subsequently defining a shading schedule?<o:p></o:p></P>
