In this movie we will show you how to set the Surface settings in the Structure list.
The Surface material property determines the solar energy absorption properties of the
selected Structure.
Our building has white plaster on all elevations and a gravel coating on the flat roof.
Let’s sort the structure list according to the orientations; select all the external
north, south, east and west walls.
Notice the inner orientation type walls and slabs are not editable, because these elements
don’t affect to the solar energy absorption.
Use the function button in the Surface column that appears by the first selected line and
select from the pop-up the Plaster – Light type.

type
Finally select all Underground slabs and Walls and choose the concrete surface finishes.
