@devonqian I am sorry for these problems, I know they are very frustrating to deal with. The error that caused this to happen actually occurred during your first session, it was only when you opened the file that you saw the issue. Most likely, it was something like a bad undo operation or some geometry error that caused the plugin to stop working. If you work with the Ruby console open you will see these errors pop up right when they occur. You can then close the plugin and reopen you model with minimal damage. Also, it is a good practice to save multiple versions of your OSM as you work.

UPDATE
Turns out that this error is due to a SketchUp API issue:

I've filed this issue but won't be able to fully address until this is fixed in SketchUp. In the meantime, when editing your model only change the active group being edited one level at a time. Changing multiple levels at a time (which is possible by double clicking into another group while already inside of another one or by using the outliner) can cause this issue.
