export to IDF .. issues with non rectangular surfaces

[mdengusiak]

@theo-armour Here we start with new cases that cause IDF export issue:

we have surface from Revit that shape a bit funny..

this is causing issue and prevent to generate IDF file.

The issue is down to the geometry in zone “05_193 Circulation” and in particular surface with curtain wall

Interesting problem.

We can start working on this in stages:

1. Identify surfaces with issues like these
   • Perhaps starting by looking at surfaces that have coordinates very close to each other
2. Fixing the issue by deleting coordinates and/or editing the surfaces

The first stage should not be difficult and some aspect of this could be in R12. The second part could be tricky and will need a fair amount of research.

While we are waiting, could you look into what happens if we simply delete the naughty surface?

@theo-armour ok Step 1 is now implemented in R12.14... step 2 will be in future version
