Revision history [back]

I'm getting a bunch of these errors and have read through this post and this post, but I'm not sure they apply or I'm misinterpreting them.

Here's the error:

   ** Severe  ** RoofCeiling:Detailed="95599E35-C04C-423A-93DB-0577DF06C426-000078B4", Vertex size mismatch between base surface :95599E35-C04C-423A-93DB-0577DF06C426-000078B4 and outside boundary surface: 95599E35-C04C-423A-93DB-0577DF06C426-000078B4 REVERSED
   **   ~~~   ** The vertex sizes are 4 for base surface and 6 for outside boundary surface. Please check inputs.

But the vertex size is what's getting me; what does size mean exactly? At first I assumed quantity, but both of these surfaces have 8 vertices (not 4 or 6 like the error message says), and they look pretty identical to me.
