[EnergyPlus_Support] Exporting Surface:Detached:Building from Ecotect geometry

["marziasedino" <marziasedino@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am running some glare and daylighting analysis for a building 
starting from an Ecotect model and exporting its geometry into E+.
My building is sorrounded by many other constructions,and I know I 
should model them in E+ by using the Surface:Shading:Detached Objects.
My issue is that I can't export them as such objects starting from 
Ecotect. Do you know how to?
So far I exported them as Thermal zones, as I am neither considering 
heat gains within the building nor running thermal analysis. Do you 
think it is correct?

thanks a lot!

Marzia
