Currently, OpenStudio can't read all the IDF objects. For example, it can read the geometry from IDF file and it can't read most of the HVAC systems. So far as I know, all the energy modeling tools with good user interface can only handle part of the IDF objects.

So the messages you received is informative. They are not "Errors". You can follow the information to export the untranslated objects.

I checked two BuildingSurface:Detailed for the same wall. They have same coordinates. So the two BuildingSurface:Detailed objects show in the same zone, while the nearby zone shows "missing wall".
