Thanks. Would a bean-shaped roof without skylight also have this warning?
It is hard to mentally picture the "shadow clipping". I believe the warning is saying that non-convex receiving surfaces may result in inaccurate shading, but as shadow clipping is not the same as ray tracing, it is hard to visualize. Does the .shd file post a geometry of the shadow which I can then import with OpenStudio to better visualize where the program is placing shadows? That would be an interesting implementation.

I think this warning made by modeling of skylight.because of skylight, your roof has a hole.If you want remove this warning, you must cut roof as rectanglesSame like____________________l l roof l ll l_____________l ll r l l r ll o l Skylight l o ll o l____________ l o ll f l roof l f ll___l_____________l___l2013/9/3 Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Well, it is a warning, not a severe.
Your roof is a receiving surface but it is non-convex. If you have shading surfaces shading it, it is warning you that the shadowing values could be inaccurate (but may not be)

The surface is plannar. The zone is non-convex. Surely this only has an effect if a skylight (roof window) had to have light fall downwards, it would also fall "around the corner" and in that way be inaccurate. But this model uses FullExterior, i.e. this warning is moot, right?
