I would suggest you look at this question and the answer (here), so you don't confuse the OpenStudio plugin for Sketchup with Euclid (the new name for the legacy OpenStudio plugin). Euclid is meant to create geometry only for EnergyPlus (.idf, it does not create a .osm file). The OpenStudio plugin creates geometry and can also help you edit inputs.
When you create geometry in Euclid you must create each zone individually, you cannot add interior partitions. The partitions are created after you put two zones adjacent to each other and do surface matching.

You can open the Euclid user guide from inside SketchUp by selecting Extensions > Euclid > Legacy OpenStudio User Guide.
