Not able to edit shade properties

Hi All,

I have encoutered an issue with building shade element.

I wan to edit the opacity of the shade surfaces, however everytime I select a shade and click on edit, it either tells me that nothing is selected, or Rhino Crashes.

Any ideal how to fix this?

Hi @ivylili, are you using the latest version of the plugin? This issue was resolved long time ago.

Hi Mostapha,

Thank you for your help. I’ve upgraded to the latest version, and it has resolved the issue—much appreciated!

I have another question regarding shading properties. I’m working with a perforated metal screen, and I’m unsure how to assign opacity/transmittance to it. I tried editing the transmittance for a solid material, but it didn’t work as expected. The only workaround I found was to make it glass and assign a Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) value, but I’m not certain if this accurately simulates the behavior of a perforated metal screen in terms of internal daylight.

Could you advise on how to approach this?

Thanks again!
