Revision history [back]

@J Monteiro I noticed that you have a pre release 1 of the application. Try getting the final release of both the 1.0.0 OpenStudio Applicaiton as well as the SketchUp Plugin on the OpenStuido download page.

When the dialog below comes up asking for the "Path to OpenStuido Root" enter the path to the OpenStudio Application. If this dialog does not come up after uninstalling the old and installing the new OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin, you may have to edit the PrivatePreferences.json file that sits next to SketchUp's plugin folders to either remove OpensStudio from that, or hand update the path to OpenStudio. You can view this file with a text editor.

Below, for reference is what the OpenStudio section of that file looks like on a mac.The dialog for "Path to OpenStudio Root" fills out the "OpenStudioDir" field below.
