Buildings.Types.Azimuth

List of possible constant values for surface azimuth

Information

Collection of constant values to define the azimuth of a surface. For example, if an exterior wall is South oriented, i.e., its outside-facing surface is towards South, use Buildings.Types.Azimuth.S.

See also Buildings.BoundaryConditions.UsersGuide for explanations of the azimuth.
