how to make sun shade?

[Anonymous]

Hi.. can I make sun shade on my elevation of my building?
thank you

Of course you can.
Model it from elements (slabs, walls, roofs, etc.) or use a purpose made object.
I don't use the default Archicad library but I am sure there are some in there (in "External Fixtures" I think - or you can search your library by keyword to find them).

And once you have constructed the shade from these elements, Save the assembly as an object to re-use it.

See "Saving 3D Models as Objects" in Archicad Help.

You used to be able to but they never looked to great because they lacked contours. Select the S/E open the settings and go to model effects and check Vectorial Sun Shadows

Sorry Christaline.
Do you mean can you show shadows on your elevation?
Yes - as Jeffrey said go into the section/elevation line settings.
You can have a "Custom" shadow on each elevation or you can have the "real" shadow as set by the sun position in the 3D widow settings.
