Description
When a negative zone volume is detected but the zone is fully enclosed, it is likely that the remaining issue is that not all the surfaces coordinates are in the correct order. To help users diagnose this issue, when a negative zone volume is detected the azimuths, tilts and areas for all the surfaces of the zone should be reported. Perhaps the report should only occur when DisplayExtraWarnings is used.
See https://unmethours.com/question/27850/why-a-negative-zone-volume/
To reproduce this problem reverse the order of coordinates for a few of the surfaces for a zone in a test file.
