I have this error message with the new version of Design Builder (1.1.0.009), that I did't had with old 1.0.2.007.
I inspect all data but I didn't find the solution.
Can you help me?
Thank you for your suggestion.

Please try the latest version of the software (version 1.1.0.010 uploaded today). You will still get warnings about zero solar transmittance for the vent material but the severe error related to not finding surfaces should be fixed.

If you still have problems, please upload your model so that I can test at this end.

Regards
Andy

Thanks for sending in your model. This problem is caused by a bug which only occurs when you request solar/visible reflections to be modelled. We have fixed the problem at this end but in the meantime I would recommend that you switch off solar reflection modelling to get your model working. A new version of the software will be available soon with the fix.

Regards

Andy
