    <p>Arian,</p>
    <p>  The obstruction height angles are measured from the horizontal
      to the top of the obstruction. The plane in question (from which
      the height angles are measured) for the roof/ceiling is the
      horizontal plane. In fact, the plane in question is always
      horizontal, regardless of the slope of the facade in which the
      opening is located.</p>

          to know if there is a specific solution to consider shading of
          far objects on ceiling of a  building. I had no problem when
          it comes to shading on the E, W, N, S walls which seems to
          define vertical openings for these walls and defining angles.
          Should I use horizontal opening for ceiling? if so how to
          define the obstruction angles and azimuth angles in this case
          (respect to what plane exactly)? It seems difficult to
          visualize the process.</div>
