Hey @chris will it be possible to change the shade depth by facade orientation for the Extruded Border Shades component in future? It seems it can only be used for the Louver Shades component at the moment
Yes, I was mostly waiting for someone to ask for this one. I just implemented it:
It will be in the LBT 1.3 release later this week.
This is good @chris, Thanks!
One case that is not taken into account is when openings are on the roof. For this case it is taking the first depth on the list (north), which is not necessarily what you want it to be on the roof.

This is by design since, unlike louvers, you typically want to add extruded borders to all windows (roofs have thicknesses just like walls). If you really need separation in this respect, you can just deconstruct Faces by Type and assign different extruded borders to Roof Faces vs Walls and then join them back into Rooms.
You are right. The intention of the component is not to create louvers, so it is fine.
Thanks,
-A.
