Autodesk Forma - Daylight Potential

I created a sample project to figure out the Daylight Potential command. Forma takes it into account the location of the building + the neighboring buildings to give a very nice 3d imagery to figure out the different daylight potential of each exterior element.
The sample project shows that the roof has a potential to receive 87%, one of the side walls has 25% of the Daylight and so on. The feeble shade difference shows the difference in the daylight potential. The shaded colors are based on Autodesk's scale of satisfactory daylight to impossible daylight!
