Shading SmartPart, Folding shutters, Elements

You can define settings for the SmartPart for Folding shutters.

Notes: If you assign a separate SmartPart for Folding shutters to a Window SmartPart, these elements are handled as individual elements. This has various effects on layers and analyses using reports.
The two SmartParts can be on different layers.
You can analyze SmartParts for Folding shutters using the Reports tool, Roller shutters.rdlc file (component ID and dimensions of window opening are also analyzed) and the Shading.rdlc file (results are grouped by shading type and dimensions of window opening). To analyze window SmartParts, you can use various files provided by the Reports tool, such as, Windows.rdlc or Windows (details).rdlc.
