Step 1 · set up the designPH screenshots (once)

  1. In designPH, open the Shading tab with Analyse single window, Shading mask and both radiation panels expanded. Any window size is fine - ideally on a second screen.
  2. Pick that window below. While capturing I stretch it to fill its screen, so designPH puts the panels side by side, and put it back afterwards. designPH 3.0: if the preview shows a scroll bar or the charts are cut off at the bottom, make designPH's text smaller with its A–A slider (top right of its panel) until the Shaded radiation chart fits, then Refresh preview.
  3. On the preview, click the Analyse selected window button.
  4. For a clearer report, pick each area below and drag a rectangle around it on the preview: the shading factors table, the shading mask and the two radiation charts. (Or set Top of capture to use the whole panel without designPH's header.)
On the preview, set:

Pick the designPH window to see a preview.

Step 1 · windows (in report order)

While it runs, leave the computer alone: it clicks designPH's Analyse button with the mouse, and designPH only draws its charts while it is on screen, so it can't run minimised or behind other windows. With a second screen, designPH can fill that one while this list stays in view. Press Pause to take over; Start carries on from the first window not yet captured.

Click a window in the list to jump to it (to redo it, or start from there). Captures are saved as you go, so you can stop and carry on later from the same folder.
