EnergyPlus Output:Diagnostics

From an EnergyPlus .err file it advised adding the following: Output:Diagnostics,DisplayExtraWarnings; So, it was added to the idf, reran simulation, it crashed.... but where do are these additional error details found?
Full error: * Severe * GetSurfaceData: There are 1 degenerate surfaces; Degenerate surfaces are those with number of sides < 3. * ~~~ * These surfaces should be deleted. * ~~~ * For explicit details on each problem surface, use Output:Diagnostics,DisplayExtraWarnings;

Did you look at this response?
No, I hadn't run across that one, but using some info from that thread and continuing to pound on the issue, I -may- have fixed the error. Long story short is that I am working in CBECCcom with a very large model, runtimes ~4hrs for 'quick sim'. CBECCcom creates an IDF file, which I could then insert the 'Output:Diagnostics' object into...then run it in E+Launch to have it quick spit out the errors - 30seconds vs 4hrs. From this, I then fixed/deleted the [apparent] problems in both the IDF and CBECCcom files. E+ was happy w/ it - now to try in CBECCcom....will have to report back in+-4hrs...
BUT - that thread was immensely helpful over all. - thanks Chandan
Can someone explain, in simple terms, how to turn on "DisplayExtraWarnings" in OpenStudio?
