Simulation failed when building has a glassdoor

I have tested OS without using WWR scrip, simple building in image below. By default, from version 1.6 (may be wrong) OS set a rectangle that touch the bottom of each level as glassdoor and then simulation failed. Changing glass door to fix windows can fix this issue, E+ run fine. (I use VRF system in this case. OS 1.8.5) I think there are something wrong when OS translate glassdoor to E+.
