Parts of Dynamic Components This louver system is a combination of several different components that are connected to each other.

Louver System
Horizontal Louver Using dynamic component, the louver can be easily adjusted in terms of blade orientation, blade width, blade depth, blade rotation, spacing, extension length and cap extension
6" Spacing Louver 0 Degree Rotation
10" Spacing Louver 20 Degree Rotation
14" Spacing Louver 40 Degree Rotation

Louver System
Vertical Louver Using dynamic component, the louver can be easily adjusted in terms of blade orientation, blade width, blade depth, blade rotation, spacing, extension length and cap extension
8" Spacing Louver 0 Degree Rotation
10" Spacing Louver 20 Degree Rotation
14" Spacing Louver 45 Degree Rotation

Louver System
Extension and CapExtension In this louver system, user can also decide the size for the cap extension, which gives more shading. User can also adjust the louver extension so that it can fit better to the destined place.
No CapExtension 0" Extension
Short CapExtension 10" Extension
Medium CapExtension 20" Extension
Long CapExtension 30" Extension

Dynamic Components Options & Attributes
Horizontal Dynamic Components It can clearly be seen here that the three different components relate to each other.

Hide and Show In this louver system, people are able to choose to use horizontal or vertical blade. In order to make this possible, the behavior hidden is added to each blade's attributes. If the value of the hidden is 1, then its hidden. But if the value is 0, then its shown.

Seattle Shade Diagrams The horizontal louvers facing south is set in such angle that it will shade most of the sunlight during the hot summer, but will let sunlight in during cold winter season. It is also set so that people inside the room can still have clear view towards the south direction.

Seattle
Dubai Shade Diagrams The weather condition in Dubai is really different from Seattle. Here, its mostly bright and hot during the year. Therefore, the louver is set to accept less light than it did in Seattle. It will still accept more sunlight in the colder winter and less sunlight in hot summer. The angle is also set so that people can still look out to the south facade clearly.
