We did remove the linking of OSM and SKP files because it was probematic, but you should still be able to open your OSM file (make sure you use the OpenStudio Plugin's "Open OSM model" button and not SketchUp's Open menu. SketchUp's main Open won't open an OSM file.

You can still manually link the files using these steps.

  1. Launch SketchUp
  2. Open your SKP using SketchUp's open menu
  3. Open your OSM file using the OpenStudio Plugin's "Open OSM Model" button.

Step to is completely optional. You only have to open a SKP file if you want to see it side by side with your OSM. When you do step three make sure you are using the OpenStudio Plugin's "Open OSM Model" button and not SketchUp's native open, which won't be able to open an OSM file.

What is happening when you open your OSM filem do you get any errors, or does it just look like it is working but just doesn't show any geometry? If you open the OSM file in a text editor and search for "OS:Surface" do you find anything?
