[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Subsurface error

["thevinyldropper" <thevinyldropper@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was not able to figure out why I was getting the subsurface error.  Everything seemed to be correct, however, I was able to work around the error by breaking the base surfaces into smaller rectangular pieces.  So please disregard my earlier messages on this issue.  I have removed my problem file submission.
