I´m experience some difficulties with a simple window.My wall is define as 
follows.

Surface:HeatTransfer,
    P0 EAST E1,              !- User Supplied Surface
    WALL,                    !- Surface Type
    PAREDE 15cm,             !- Construction Name of the
    ZONA ESTE,               !- InsideFaceEnvironment
    ExteriorEnvironment,     !- OutsideFaceEnvironment
    ,                        !- OutsideFaceEnvironment
    SunExposed,              !- Sun Exposure
    NoWind,                  !- Wind Exposure

    4,                       !- Number of Surface
    3.62,                    !- Vertex 1 X-coordinate {m}
    0,                       !- Vertex 1 Y-coordinate {m}
    0,                       !- Vertex 1 Z-coordinate {m}
    -0.77,                   !- Vertex 2 X-coordinate {m}
    17.95,                   !- Vertex 2 Y-coordinate {m}
    0,                       !- Vertex 2 Z-coordinate {m}
    -0.77,                   !- Vertex 3 X-coordinate {m}
    17.95,                   !- Vertex 3 Y-coordinate {m}
    3.15,                    !- Vertex 3 Z-coordinate {m}
    3.62,                    !- Vertex 4 X-coordinate {m}
    0,                       !- Vertex 4 Y-coordinate {m}
    3.15;                    !- Vertex 4 Z-coordinate {m}

My window is

Surface:HeatTransfer:Sub,
    P0 EAST E1::win001-Baixo,  !- User Supplied Surface
    window,                  !- Surface Type
    Dbl Clr 6mm/13mm Air,    !- Construction Name of the
    P0 EAST E1,             !- Base Surface Name
    ,                        !- OutsideFaceEnvironment
    0.5,                     !- View Factor to Ground
    ,                        !- Name of shading control
    ,                        !- WindowFrameAndDivider
    1,                       !- Multiplier
    4,                       !- Number of Surface
    3.62,                   !- Vertex 1 X-coordinate {m}
    0,                       !- Vertex 1 Y-coordinate {m}
    0.01,                       !- Vertex 1 Z-coordinate
    -0.77,                       !- Vertex 2 X-
    17.95,                       !- Vertex 2 Y-
    0.01,                       !- Vertex 2 Z-coordinate
    -0.77,                       !- Vertex 3 X-
    17.95,                       !- Vertex 3 Y-

    0,                       !- Vertex 4 Y-coordinate {m}
    0.1;                     !- Vertex 4 Z-coordinate {m}

The error message is

** Severe  ** Base surface does not surround subsurface (CHKSBS)
   **   ~~~   ** Surface "P0 EAST E1" overlaps SubSurface "P0 EAST 
E1::WIN001-BAIXO"

The strange thing is if you substitute 0.01 in vertex 1 Z and 2 Z and put 
instead the value 0 the error disapear.If you put 0 in vertex 1Z and 2Z you 
can put any value in the other two Z but if you change the zero value of the 
first two Z the error message appear.
I think the explanation is very simple but I can´t see it right now.
Can anyone help me?
best regards
Lourenço
