      This warning is coming from the fact that the x direction of a rosette is projecting onto the element as a point since it is normal. In this case ACP does not know how to orient the x, so it warns it is using a different method. To resolve this we need to have a rosette that does not have the x direction normal to any elements in that oriented element set.
