The Sketch-up plugin has these errors:

Error: Surface 371 The space referenced by this surface does not exist, it cannot be drawn.

Error: Surface 694 The space referenced by this surface does not exist, it cannot be drawn.

It should be easy as deleting these surfaces, correct? How do I find these objects?

Ok. How does one go about sorting out how to resolve such an error? The youtube tutorial vids make it all look easy, but gloss over things like this. Is it back under the constructions tab?

Can anyone help me decipher what the following eplusout.err error codes mean? It's a very basic 6 room model with a few windows, nothing fancy.
