Are Local Shading Devices > Recesses used in notional building?

Are recesses that are in the constructions in the actual building also in the notional building?

Recesses are typically included in a model within the glazed construction under Local Shading Devices > Recesses. Using this method only the windows assigned this construction would use these recess properties, i.e. it is a construction dependent shading effect. Since the notional building uses its own specific shading devices and these do not include recess settings then the notional building would not include recess effects.
