[Bldg-sim] bad building component message

[Christopher Sturdivant]

Hello All,

I have finally figured out how to make a one-sided sloped roof by making
polygons.  Now that I am finished with that part I am trying to simulate
the building's design performance but a "bad building component message"
pops up on the screen.  The way that I constructed the roof was I took
the dimensions of the used to be flat roof and used those to make a
rectangular polygon and tilted it.  After that it left openings on both
sides near the top b/c it's going from being flat to slope so I made
triangular polygons on both sides to fill in the space.  Also the
building was divided up into two zones with a partition wall separating
the two and it went up to the roof/ceiling, so could that be the problem
and if that is so then how to I construct a ceiling in the detailed edit
wizard screen?

Thanks.
