I imported wall section geometry from Rhino in DXF format. Some objects were not represented (imported properly) so I drew them in manually. When saving, I saw a message in red in the lower right corner of the modelling window that said, "Total elements too small for this number of layers." When zooming back out to the wall section geometry, red nodes appear around the perimeter of my geometry. I tried to redraw the objects located around the perimeter but the red nodes persist.
Can you please let me know what is causing this error? Should I be worried about this error and what are the implications?
I have attached two screen shots for reference. One of the modeling view with the error message and the other is the view where the red nodes are visible.

Re: Error Message
Hello Kit,
Nice to see you in our Forum.
I have never seen that error message. I pretty sure the developers will answer you by tomorrow.

Re: Error Message
Dear Kit,
that is a message caused by the grid generation module. You have to rise the maximum number of elements in the menu "Grid".
Please also keep in mind, that WUFI is thought to calculate the moisture behavior of porous building materials. A construction mainly containing air layers and metals may show really bad behavior in convergence.
