Hello all,

I am trying to create a mesh with OF and I get this warning when I compile:

--> FOAM Warning :
From function polyMesh:olyMesh(... construct from shapes...)
in file meshes/polyMesh/polyMeshFromShapeMesh.C at line 577
Found 1 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.

Now usually I know that means that one face isn't defined in my patches but for the life of me I can't figure out where. In addition, when I open up paraview I cannot see any default patches to help me identify where I forgot to define it. I've attached a screenshot of my paraview window with the object inspector open. Notice how there is no place to select default patches. Below is also a copy of my blockMeshDict file:

I'm sure I'm doing something silly but if anybody could give me a hand I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
