I have the same problem, but I can not find the line that E + warns, even opening the file in SU. Everything looks ok. Anyone with the same problem?

The warning: * Warning * CalculateZoneVolume: The Zone="94" is not fully enclosed. To be fully enclosed, each edge of a surface must also be an edge on one other surface. * ~~~ * The zone volume was calculated using the floor area times ceiling height method where the floor and ceiling are the same except for the z-coordinates. * ~~~ * The surface "94_CEILING_1_0_0" has an edge that is either not an edge on another surface or is an edge on three or more surfaces: * ~~~ * Vertex start { 0.2121, -0.4419, 3.3000} * ~~~ * Vertex end { -1.3081, 1.0783, 3.3000} * ~~~ * The surface "94_CEILING_1_2_1" has an edge that is either not an edge on another surface or is an edge on three or more surfaces: * ~~~ * Vertex start { 2.1567, -2.3865, 3.3000} * ~~~ * Vertex end { 0.2121, -0.4419, 3.3000}
