I'm using https://www.ladybug.tools/spider-2020/spider-idf-viewer/v-2020-06-20/spider-idf-viewer.html

I have one surface which is rendering with what looks like an artifact included within the area of an external corner:

Here it is by itself:

  24.743, -16.647, 0,                     !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m}
  29.883, -6.137, 0;                      !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}

Other concave shapes in the same model render OK.

Is this a problem with the input data? An issue in the viewer?

Let me know if I can add any other useful info... thanks

I just noticed, that floor surface has a matching roof surface of the same shape, which does not show the same artifact. Here are both of them:

This is most likely happening for a similar reason as this one: #16
