[EnergyPlus_Support] Multi-sided (>4) surfaces in VoloView

["mrwassmer" <michael_wassmer@xxxxxxxx>]

According to the release notes, V1.2.1 allows surfaces with more 
than four vertices. I created a five-sided surface and didn't get an 
error when I ran the IDF. My "Report,Surface,Vertices" report 
indicates that the surface does, in fact, have five vertices. 
However, when I try to view this surface in VoloView, it doesn't 
show it properly. As a test, I switched it back to four sides and 
VoloView showed the four-sided surface correctly. So, I have two 
questions:
- Is it true that many-sided surfaces are now permitted in V1.2.1?
- Why is there a problem in VoloView?

Thanks,
Mike Wassmer
