About this asset

Modern metal sunshade Revit family featuring longitudinal shading blades, a perimeter frame, and curved cantilever support brackets. A streamlined exterior architectural canopy engineered for facade solar control. The horizontal cantilevered frame houses an array of parallel longitudinal louvre blades set within a clean rectangular perimeter profile. Structural stability is provided by two wall-anchored brackets, each reinforced with a delicate curved knee brace strut. Proportions suit standard exterior window heads and glazed curtain wall spans. The clean geometric lines and slim framing profiles provide passive shading while preserving a clean, uncluttered architectural elevation.

The download is a 328 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this component directly into Revit project templates to place on vertical wall hosts above window openings or curtain wall assemblies. Adjust placement elevation relative to sill heights to accurately simulate shade casting and solar penetration studies in early design phases. Material parameters can be mapped to project-wide exterior powder-coat finishes, anodised aluminium, or painted steel schedules to ensure precise BIM coordination and documentation.

Specified commonly on exterior facades for commercial office buildings, multi-family residential developments, and educational facilities. The bracketed sunshade provides functional daylight control over punch windows, storefronts, and glazed entrances, reducing building solar heat gain. Pair this family with exterior wall cladding systems, standard aluminium window assemblies, and external entrance canopies when preparing full exterior elevations, facade details, or construction document sets.
