Unable to run a parametric simulation with a prototype building.

I want to create a parametric model and want to know the energy use for different parameters like reducing lpd, increasing R value of a specific construction, and all. So I can use the measure called create prototype building and then select the building for which I want to run the simulation but when I apply the measures like Increase the R value etc the measure asks for the construction in the building, but the dropdown menu in the measure shows nothing since I am creating a prototype building by running the measure as attached in the Image below. Also I have imported the openstudio model where I ran the create doe prototype building measure but still in PAT it does not show any space type construction layers etc.

What is the best way to run a parametric simulation for a prototype building? I want to inspect the impact of changing the R values, using different HVAC systems, reducing the lpd etc to find out the best possible scenario for the prototype building.
