Cannot compute outward normal for vertices surface

Hello When defining the ceiling in C#, the following error is displayed, I do not understand the source of the error, thank you for your guidance.

Cannot compute outward normal for vertices [[7.49582, 4.56265, 3.2004], [1.49582, 4.56265, 3.2004], [7.49582, 1.56265, 3.2004], [1.49582, 1.56265, 3.2004]], surface name = 'Surface 1'

The vertices do not appear correct. They need to be either clockwise or counterclockwise, but yours intersect:

From a bird's eye view, those coordinates (in sequence) draw an inverted letter "Z". You're probably after:

  1. [7.49582, 4.56265, 3.2004]
  2. [1.49582, 4.56265, 3.2004]
  3. [1.49582, 1.56265, 3.2004]
  4. [7.49582, 1.56265, 3.2004]

... i.e. invert coordinates 3 vs 4.
