We are still getting several of these errors @kellyatradiantlabs @joshuamzm . Can you please explain this error and how we can get past it?

[kellyatradiantlabs]

Hi @lukeduran - thanks for following up on this issue. This is something that we've been working on for the past two weeks. It has to do with the geometries of the the building floor and foundation based on the data pulled from our vendors. We're working to update our assumptions to better handle certain cases like this address. In the meantime, I'd recommend the best way to work around this error is to specify the buildingsummary.conditionedFloorArea and enclosure.foundations.area in your request.

[lukeduran]

@kellyatradiantlabs will this be resolved in v2?

[kellyatradiantlabs]

@lukeduran yes it will! I just added the tag.

This request is now passing in our v2.0.0 development environment.
