[EnergyPlus_Support] Base surface and subsurface angle discrepancy

["saima.kumar@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am a new user to Energyplus, and am using version 8-4. In going through the first example module I added a window on the coordinates of the wallâ??s plane.  I have reviewed the DXF file and the model appears fine. 

However,I am getting a severe error as pasted below.

Questions:

1)      1. Could there be any issues with my input of the window vertices?

2)      2. Is this a detrimental issue that affect the final results?  

 

 ** Severe  ** GetSurfaceData: Outward facing angle [270.0] of subsurface="EAST WINDOW" significantly different than

   **   ~~~   ** ..facing angle [90.0] of base surface=ZONE SURFACE EAST Tilt=90.0
