Hi, when I start using OS and Sketch up I used to have the same problem and the solution that Matthew Larson give me was this one: 1.Open an empty sketch up file 2.Then using the Open Studio Tool bar use the "Open OpenStudio Model" icon 3.Search your file and then select the .osm file

He explain me that you need to work on the .osm file or otherwise you are going to mix the surfaces, The sketch up ones (white surfaces) and the open studio ones (grey surfaces) and open studio wont work with the white ones.

And probably you can change renders because of this issue

I hope it works for you :).
