#16 Prevent automatic subdivision of geometry

[Peter Ellis]

When an IDF file is opened, certain geometry can generate the message:

"Warning: A surface was subdivided because of connected geometry."

In many cases this is because the input file has a door, window, or other surface that completely bisects another surface (usually a base surface). This triggers SketchUp to create a new surface automatically.

There's no way to turn off this built-in behavior. But for some cases, such as a window that bisects its base surface, the plugin could try to detect that there will be a problem and then automatically shrink the window slightly to fit inside the edges of the base surface.
