new solar shading calculations

In the earlier version of IES: when you Ran the solar shading calculations on the bottom you would get a table showing % area of the surface receiving solar gains (in shades of yellow to grey).
In the latest version of IES VE, in the same place, the same table instead shows the a matrix of solar altitudes.

What am I missing?
Just to be specific Im not talking about viewing it in the Model Viewer.

Thanks.

Hi,

You get the Table of Solar Altitudes at top level, select a room and then go down a level of decomposition to see the insolation by % area.

This should be covered in the SunCast user guide too (Help >> User Guides >> Solar section)
