Dear Aaron I'm a Ph.D. student and I'm gonna study on a light shelf considering thermal and visual comfort. I want to model my office in SketchUp with the aid of open-studio then I simulate it in EnergyPlus and finally optimize it in jEPlus+ea, but I'm confusing, I cant add a light shelf in SketchUp, which means I used the bellow code but I faced an Error!

sketchup_model = Sketchup.active_model model = sketchup_model.model_interface.openstudio_model

new_lightshelf =subsurfaces[11].addDaylightingDeviceShelf()

<openstudio::model::optionaldaylightingdeviceshelf:0x0001c817a91b78>

new_lightshelf.empty? false aa=new_lightshelf.get OS:DaylightingDevice:Shelf, {d3e8c95e-9f08-4a58-acf4-c2b79d7df8c4}, !- Handle Daylighting Device Shelf 1, !- Name {72f98f0b-6b8a-4ba6-920d-83994f4287e7}; !- Window Name aa.class OpenStudio::Model::DaylightingDeviceShelf aa.name Daylighting Device Shelf 1
