Degenerated Polygons

Is there an efficient way to find these degenerated polygons ( probably a door or window somewhere) or do I have to search every door and window in the project?

The best way I find if there is no clue as to what the problem is would be to place a marquee around part of your model and view that in 3D.
If no errors then move the marquee to another location.
If there is an error then you may have to reduce the size of the marquee to narrow it down.

I am not having any luck with that technique this time.

Even if I draw a new wall that I know has good polygons and view only that selection in 3d, a report will be generated showing the degenerated polygons if I adjust it.

So the report is being generated with out regard to what I am seeing in the 3d window. Than means I can't find it/them viewing things in 3d and watching to see if a report is generated.

This may be the problem? There is a missing wall skin that I can not explain.

That was it. I was getting those degenerated polygon reports because I had a wall skin in several walls with a 0" thickness.
I changed them all to .001" and that fixed everything. No more bothersome reports. Problem is fixed.
