4.18 SHADE
SHADE constructs a subobject associated with the current WINDOW that represents fixed shading devices (overhangs and/or fins). A window may have at most one SHADE and only windows in vertical surfaces may have SHADEs. A SHADE can describe an overhang, a left fin, and/or a right fin; absence of any of these is specified by omitting or giving 0 for its depth. SHADE geometry can vary on a monthly basis, allowing modeling of awnings or other seasonal shading strategies.
