... "vertices for the Surface are approaching but not quite 0". That's OK, IMO. Both set of coordinates seem fine at first glance. A few suggestions:
A) Try raising the door sill by 0.025 (i.e. an inch):
17.832832, 0, 2.032, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 1 {m}
17.832832, 0, 0.025, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 2 {m}
18.848832, 0, 0.025, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m}
18.848832, 0, 2.032; !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}... SketchUp sometimes has a hard time with a subsurface edge aligned with its base surface edge.
B) Surface 399 is an interzone surface. It's facing some other wall, {3f3ba925-c317-411c-ab04-62e1acec8ada} - you may want to validate its coordinates as well.
C) As Surface 399 is an interzone surface, Sub Surface 395 must also reference a matching subsurface with the adjacent base surface, {3f3ba925-c317-411c-ab04-62e1acec8ada}, as its parent. Its "Outside Boundary Condition Object" can't be left blank like that. With a text editor, CTRL-F {3f3ba925-c317-411c-ab04-62e1acec8ada} to check if there's a paired subsurface for Sub Surface 395. If not, you can try adding one e.g.:
OS:SubSurface,
{869704f3-8c02-4b9d-a2b2-09b7e587013x}, !- Handle
Sub Surface 395x, !- Name
Door, !- Sub Surface Type
, !- Construction Name
{3f3ba925-c317-411c-ab04-62e1acec8ada}, !- Surface Name
{869704f3-8c02-4b9d-a2b2-09b7e587013f}, !- Outside Boundary Condition Object
, !- View Factor to Ground
, !- Frame and Divider Name
, !- Multiplier
, !- Number of Vertices
18.848832, 0, 2.032; !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}
18.848832, 0, 0.025, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m}
17.832832, 0, 0.025, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 2 {m}
17.832832, 0, 2.032, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 1 {m}... a bit tricky doing this by hand. Make it sure its handle is unique. If unsuccessful, try deleting Sub Surface 395.
Hope this helps.
