If you choose to simulate detached pavilions (as a single facility/building, as discussed here), then make sure to select FullExteriorWithReflections (you should nonetheless do a few sanity check runs to ensure self-shading & reflections are enabled correctly).

If instead simulating each building independently (10 buildings == 10 IDFs), then the other buildings would need to be modelled as shading objects (see here and/or here), and also select FullExteriorWithReflections.
