Surrounding shading device optimization - going crazy

[kafka]

Hi All,

I am trying to optmize a surrounding shading device for some dates but I get crazy results. The shading device is "cross cutting" my wall and It is not correct for the time and date I set as the sun rays are hitting my surface just from one side!
My ecotect is the latest build Autodesk Ecotect 2009. The location is Jeddah - Saudi Arabia and the dates I want to calculate the shadind are from 21 Jun to 21 Aug from 12:30 to 15:00. I attach my settings and the ecotect file (zip).

Can anyone help with this please?

I have also included an updated model for you together with the optimised shades.

Hope that helps...
