InterZone Surface Areas Mismatch- how to fix

I get this sever error in my Model for surface mismatch evere * FenestrationSurface:Detailed="SUB SURFACE 5", invalid blank Outside Boundary Condition Object * ~~~ * ...when Base surface uses "Surface" as Outside Boundary Condition Object, subsurfaces must also specify specific surfaces in the adjacent zone. * Severe * GetSurfaceData: Subsurface="SUB SURFACE 5" is an adiabatic surface in an Interzone base surface="SURFACE 3" * ~~~ ** ...calculations for heat balance would be compromised.

Open inspection the surface 5 is a surface of interzone wall with surface 16 of adjacent wall. image description. Somehow it converted to a window transparent instead of remaining a wall after the surface match through plugin.

However, I fail to understand how to fix this or even undo this.

Please help
