For details please refer to Technical Reference Manual

I know this post is a little old but I have not been on the site in awhile.

This warning will not affect your results but the warning is simply saying that if you have a complex floor it may be in your best interest to split it up into different groups.

Example: If you have a floor that will have an opening; you will need to use multiple groups so the opening will appear and you don't have a floor load with the opening should be.

You will get this warning everytime you use a group in a floor load.
