Balconies in Sketch Up

Hello Users, I want to add balconies to my building. These balconies should throw shadow on my building too. Which way is the easiest to create balconies in Sketch Up Make 2017 with openstudio plugin? I dont need a railing or something, just a surface coming out of my building. Regards, Arne

The best way would be to just create a New Shading Surface Group and draw the surface of your balcony. Moreover, you should account for the thermal bridge of your balcony by increasing accordingly the U-Value of the equivalent wall

Thanks a lot. In my case the balconies are not fixed directly to the wall. So there is no thermal bridge. That why I dont have to change the U-Value I think.
