Eaves are Horizontal Shade Objects that are Connected to Walls so that their Shading Impacts (i.e. reduced Solar Gains) can be Simulated
Eavesare Eaves are modelled as Line like objects within Hero, and must be Manually Connected by the User to each Wall that the User determines they may shade.

Eaves & OpeningsNote all Openings (Windows & Doors) on a Wall will also have the Eaves of their Parent Walls applied to them during Simulation |

Screens as Wing-WallsScreens can also get Auto-Detected by Hero as Wing-Walls when they lie Perpendicular to a Wall. For more details see: Wing Walls |

Modelling Screens over Multiple LevelsCurrently if a Screen’s Height is such that it stretches across multiple Levels, it must be modelled separately on each Level with the Total & Top Heights adjusted as required relative to each Level. In future versions of Hero, we will move to make Screens Level-Independent and allow Levels whose heights are sufficient to project into other Levels shown so that you don’t need to duplicate Screens across multiple levels (see our Trello Features Roadmap for further details). |
