Finding Degenerate Surfaces in EnergyPlus

My simulation won't run because I have 11 degenerate surfaces. We have tried to cut up all our large misshapen surfaces but that didn't help. I intersected and matched for the most part using the OpenStudio tool and hand matched and intersected those areas it didn't pick up. Ideally I would like to search for these surfaces and delete them but they don't seem to appear in the idf file. Does anyone know how I can search for degenerate surfaces?
