color:black">In addition, I don’t understand how shading masks are modeled (if
they are modeled) : the simulation studio file created by the 3D-Building
Project Wizard do not use types (like Type 67 or 68 or 34 …) so radiations from
the weather file are not modified before the Type 56.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
