Badreddine Dalal,
  The definition of a Type56/TRNBuild "orientation" is a surface that has a unique amount of solar radiation falling on it. Before there was Trnsys3D it was not uncommon for me to deal with buildings that had multiple hundreds of orientations, many of them facing the same basic direction. If you have drawn your building using Trnsys3D then the basic orientations have been set for you and if you generate a shading mask from TRNBuild then the building shape and any shading objects that you have drawn in Trnsys3D will be taken into account automatically.
  If you want instead to use Type34 then you will need to define additional orientations in TRNBuild and assign them to the appropriate surfaces in the building.
kind regards,
 David

Good evening,

I'm using type 34 to model the effect of overhangs. I was wondering what happens when, in one same wall, we have 2 or more windows with different dimensions and different overhangs. Its said that i should use one type 34 for every window but i cant because for every type 34 i must define an orientation that i should assign to the wall.  How can the wall have several orientation?
What should i do in this case? Is there any other way to model those overhangs?

Thank you for your responses
