Window scaling error - baseline case model

Hi, I have a 16.68% proposed case WWR and when I hit the autogenerate baseline case model, I get the following error message for almost all surfaces design builder error auto generate baseline "The window scaling method was not possible for this surface, so a default facade layout was used instead." and my WWR in the baseline case model is getting updated to 30%. What is going on and what is the issue? I am using continuous horizontal as the window placement type. EnergyPlus simulation engine, Design Builder software.
