[EnergyPlus_Support] Outward Facing Angle for a subsurface

["philcook76" <philcook76@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to model a building with a sawtooth roof. I have drawn the model in SketchUp but when I run the IDF file with EPlus Launch, I get the error:
   ** Severe  ** GetSurfaces: Outward facing angle [90.0] of subsurface="ZNWARE:E_WALL:ROLLER_DOOR" significantly different than
   **   ~~~   ** ..facing angle [270.0] of base surface=ZNWARE:E_WALL Tilt=90.0
   **   ~~~   ** ..surface class of base surface=Wall

Both of the surfaces are described anticlockwise when looking at them from outside the building. I have included the extracts from the IDF file for these surfaces below. I have tried to redraw them several times but with the same results. Is this an E+ problem or something to do with OpenStudio?

Thanks,
Phil
