Change the geometry of building in idf file.

When I use the Multi-family Residential Prototype Building Models, I found that the coordinate of the roof is wired. For example, the coordinate of Roof_left is: 41.122974000000,4.107433182722,7.920000000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 1 {m} 41.122974000000,-15.731187000000,7.920000000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 2 {m} 41.122974000000,-5.811876908639,12.046992000000; !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 3 {m} But the coordinate of ceiling_unit1_FrontRow_MiddleFloor is: 0.000000000000,0.000000000000,5.332900000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 1 {m} 12.178962909315,0.000000000000,5.332900000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 2 {m} 12.178962909315,9.157114969410,5.332900000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 3 {m} 0.000000000000,9.157114969410,5.332900000000; !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 4 {m} I think the coordinate of Roof_left should be: 0.0,19.8386201827,5.332900000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 1 {m} 0.0,0.0,5.332900000000, !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 2 {m} 0.0,9.91931009136,5.332900000000; !- X,Y,Z ==> Vertex 3 {m}

Why the Prototype Building Models have this kind of roof coordinate?
