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.
