<p>Ah, a question that I can easily answer!</p>
<p>A building-shade is tied geometrically to a building, while a
fixed shade is not, i.e., it's tied geometrically to the global
coordinate system. As an example, one should model the shading
cast by neighboring structures as fixed shades, and model the
shading of building elements like overhangs and fins as building
shades. This distinction is handy when one wants to rotate a
building model on a given site.</p>

If you have multiple fins across a window, you have to use
