Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Polygon Problem.

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

1.  Surfaces Zn002:Roof003 and Zn002:Roof004 are the triangular gable surfaces. 
 Since these surfaces are vertical, they should be designated as WALLs instead 
of ROOFs.  This will eliminate the tilt warnings in the error file.

2.  Both of these surfaces have exactly the same set of vertices, and they are 
both facing North (azimuth=0).  Use "report, surfaces, details;" to produce a 
summary of surfaces listing azimuth and tilt in the eio output file.  The one 
which represents the north gable end must have y values of 6.096 for all of its 
vertices.  The other one needs the order of its vertices reversed so that it 
faces south (azimuth=180).

3.  Also, the floor surface appears to have an error.  It is a trapezoid 
instead of a rectangle.
