Is there anyway to fix the vector of wind load exactly perpendicular to each panel? manually fixing it in rhino seem would have some uncertainty of inaccurate.

Is there anyway to fix the vector of wind load exactly perpendicular to each panel? thank you

Hi MingKeat!I believe a windload can only be from one main direction, else it wouldn&#x27;t make much sense. Let&#x27;s say you have 100 panels with different orientations and you want to create a windload perpendicular to each panel, you&#x27;d have 100 different forces with different directions acting on a panel. You&#x27;d be better of calculating the average orientation of all the panels and use that as the wind load direction. Or am I missing something?Cheers!Arie
