<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt">I am modelling a huge building with ca. 80 thermal zones and almost 200 windows. I can not merge the windows and I know that, in case the number of windows is higher than 100, TRNBUILD is not
able to generate the shading matrix.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt">Of these 200 windows, the shading matrix could be relevant just for 50 windows (windows with balconies). So I would like to ask you if there is the possibility to keep the 200 windows but to
<b>generate the shading matrix just for these 50 windows</b>. Is it possible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt">If not are there others alternatives (that are not merging windows or split the building model in two/three building models)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
