[EnergyPlus_Support] extensible surfaces

["Danny Bishop" <bish.dj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All
 I have a some Surface:Shading:Detached:Building objects that are generating
the error shown below. Can anyone tell me what modification I need to make
to the IDD file, and why it isn't just set at the maximum by default?
