Fins
Fin material allows you to add a vertical shading device that is attached to an external window, external glass door, or skylight construction. Fins can be placed on one or both sides of the window or door. Fin placement is relative to the edge of the glass so the frame width must be included when it is present.
Fins properties
Left and Right extension above window
This field is the width from the left or right edge of the window/door to the plane of the left or right fin. The extension width is relative to the edge of the glass and includes the frame width when a frame is present.
