RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Too many vertices

I had the same problem when I use solar distribution "Full interior and exterior with refelctions" the simulation finishes without error but I had thousands of warninigs.

What does your ShadowCalculation object look like?

The 2nd field in that object sets the number of figures in a shadow overlap but maybe this is a different detection.
Feel free to send your input file to the helpdesk for further analysis or alleviation of this warning, if possible.

Hi guys, my simulation was giving and overlapping shadow warnings wicth i corrected.
But, Now is displaying this warning:

"Too many vertices [>=12] in a shadow overlap"

and then it told me to run the ExtraWarnings for more information

and this came up:
" ** Warning ** Too many vertices [>=12] in a shadow overlap

and i looked the shd file and it seems that is nothing i can do about it

Is a solution for this? Or some way the i could ignore this warning?
