Cooling and Heating Loads by Honeybee

Good afternoon,
I’m using honeybee-legacy to calculate the cooling and heating loads for walls with different geometries. I start getting the following error with one of the walls " one of the surface has less than 3 identical coordinates"
Can anyone tell me how to fix that?

Do I see curved surfaces, or ball shaped perforations, in your facade? Ouch, that is definitely a no-go for Energyplus. As of today, there is no simulation tool that would allow the definition of such a facade. You will need to review your model and simplify your model complexity before anything else.

You can still run accurate daylight analysis on that facade though.

yes, they are ball-shaped surfaces. It’s really sad to hear that I can’t run energy simulation for such a facade. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it!
