Here's another way to solve it: If you select "DisplayExtraWarnings" from the "Output:Diagnostics" object, you should see some warnings similar to this:
* Warning * GetVertices: Distance between two vertices < .01, possibly coincident. for Surface=C1000000_C24, in Zone=FC-1-1 * ~~~ * Vertex [3]=(98.38,70.59,3.05) * ~~~
* Vertex [2]=(98.38,70.60,3.05) * ~~~ * Cannot Drop Vertex [3]; Number of Surface Sides at minimum. This surface is now a degenerate surface.
Further down you will see your severe error that just counts up the number of degenerate surfaces:
* Severe * GetSurfaceData: There are 12 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3. * ~~~ * These surfaces should be deleted.
It's not necessarily surfaces that have <3 sides initially. All of these surfaces had 4 points initially. Hope this helps.

Further down you will see your severe error that just counts up the number of degenerate surfaces:surfaces. This is the only error you would see if you didn't use Output:Diagnostics, DisplayExtraWarnings:
* Severe * GetSurfaceData: There are 12 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3.
* ~~~ * These surfaces should be deleted.
