You can generate a complete set of KIVA inputs (foundations, settings, exposed perimeters) for your model using the Thermal Bridging and Derating (or TBD) Measure. The autogenerated exposed perimeters should reflect your model's exact configuration (e.g. geometry, boundary conditions). The settings and insulation configuration will reflect a basic/generic circa 1980-1990s setup. Best to rely on Apply Measures Now (to generate KIVA inputs) and then edit the KIVA insulation configurations with a text editor. You can safely re-open your modified OpenStudio model in the App - it will preserve the generated KIVA inputs, despite not offering opportunities to further edit ... you may want to first try this out on a test copy of your model :).
