Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ** Severe ** DetermineShadowingCombinations

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Buildings produce self-shading -- they do not have to have
detached shades to produce this error.

Looks at OS:Surface 768 -- it appears to be non-convex.  HOWEVER, V7
had some false positives here.  You may want to wait for V7.1 to be
released.
