Polygon is degenerated

I have saved a file as .pla and brought it home to work on. When I want to see any elevation or 3d I get this message. I have the option to press stop or continue. if I press stop than I am missing walls etc. If I press continue than I have to press it about a hundred times so each item will show up, walls, windows etc. I am using se9. I have read in past posts that this could be the problem. But it only happens when I bring a file from the office to the home computer. Never had this on the office computer that the file was originaly created on. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim

It sounds like a bit of a strange problem. Since the file runs fine on one machine and not on another it suggests a problem with library parts, but this would require that the libraries are different on the two machines. Is this the case?

Usually the error message will tell which library part(s) is(are) producing the error. What are they?

What is missing from the model once it is done?

To save yourself the trouble of having to respond to all those error messages, go to Options > Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > Imaging & Calculation and turn off "Interrupt with Error Messages". If you keep the "Write Report" option checked you will still get a list of the errors after the 3D window finishes.
