Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

Perhaps you realize, but latest release version by the Coalition includes a native geometry option, so if you intend to use purely for energy modeling / energy analysis from scratch, you can forego dependency on Sketchup altogether. Depending on how you plan to use OpenStudio this could be welcomed news.
I was reluctant to give it a try initially, but the geometry tool is easy to learn; additionally, you gain use of the most recent OS/E+ updates, and it seems less buggy than the earlier Sketchup compatible versions when it comes to geometry integration overall.
