DDJUSA,
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the US library. Could it be a door or window has a wrong setting some where?

HTH.
Cheers.

Ben,
Thank you for the fast response.
I don't think there are any doors or windows out of sync.
This error comes up on a brand new drawing with few elements.

Best,

I think too, it is something to to with GDL-Objects.
Try to reloade the library

DR,
As Jakop stated, there is a library prat some where in your model that has a wrong setting. I don't think reloading your library will do the trick though.

You will need to track down the problem object/s and fix the wrong setting.

HTH.
Cheers.

Switch your Report window on. It will tell you if there is an error, and in which library part. Use Find&Selct to find it, correct the wrong parameter, and that should be that.

The 'Polygon degenerated' message means that a polygons-shaped 3D body within the named GSM file is not correct. This is probably caused by parameters not set correctly or set in such a way that is creating a degenerated 3D body.
I am not familiar with the US library either, but from the word 'Trim' in its name I guess it might be a Window or Door.
Try finding which Window/Door in the file where you have few elements placed. To do this, select one Door, display it in 3D and see if the message appears. Find the Door/Window which produces the message when displayed in 3D by itself.
You may also try turning off Trims for those placed Doors/Windows and see if that helps.
You may also post a zipped small PLA file with the problem reproducible in it so we can check it out.
