Wrong volume calculation in OpenStudio

I´m working with OpenStudio 1.7.0 and I´ve found that the volumes calculated for 3 different thermal zones (from a total of 53 zones) in my model are not right. In 2 cases they are much bigger than expected and the other is slightly smaller... I already checked the geometry in SketchUp an everything looks fine, the OpenStudio files gives me no errors, but when I get the final report of the simulation the volumes shown are wrong. Is there a way to override the calculated value and enter the right one? I tried to change it saving my OpenStudio file as IDF and turning back to OS, but it didn´t work... any ideas? Thanks!
