OS doesn't assign construction to reversed surfaces

While OS imports gbXML files it creates 2 surfaces: an original from gbXML with assigned construction, and a reversed one as Energy Plus requires. To that reversed surface OS doesn't assign any construction, why? OS 2.3

OS doesn't assign construction to reversed surfaces

While OS imports gbXML files it creates 2 surfaces: an original from gbXML with assigned construction, and a reversed one as Energy Plus requires. To that reversed surface OS doesn't assign any construction, why? OS 2.32.3 So, here is the test file. 1. OS does not recognize underground walls. 2. In SketchUp there are no constrictions assigned to generated reversed surfaces: image description

  1. Some of surfaces have constructions with unreadable names: image description

  2. In OS application horizontal surfaces are recognized incorrectly: image description

As you see, it doesn't assign all of them to floors or to ceilings, but do it randomly, so it is impossible to automate reassignment. 5. As a consequence, constructions for horizontal surfaces are also wrong: image description

  1. And the last but not least - adjacent spaces. Again, constructions to SOME reversed surfaces are not assigned: image description

  2. But if you check the same construction in its space, you'll see assigned construction in green and it is wrong: image description

Last time when we discussed here the problem with gbXML import, there was an opinion, that the file itself was exported incorrectly from Revit. But as I see now, the problem is actually in OS. @Macumber, please respond to this post, as I remember OS announced a kind of certification in working with gbXML, may be I do smthg wrong..?
