I'm not sure of the significance of the error either. I plan to use the final geometry in a few energy simulations using Rhino and OpenStudio. Is it really necessary to fix non-planar polygons to run these simulations? I could use advice in this matter as well.

@gulce​ Hi there, I believe this error occurs when polygons (specifically their verticies) do not fall within some specified tolerance distance of a reference plane. Without knowing the specifics of your dataset, you might be able to catch these non-planar polygons with the GeometryValidator transformer set to detect Non-Planar surfaces, or set to detect those features which are non-OGC Compliant.

 

Here's a Community Question that has some relevant information on workflow options that might prove helpful here. Take a look through the various responses therein for some tips on correcting non-planar surfaces with the GeometryValidator.
