Hello
 
I often get ''SWIG director method errors'' when I apply a measures
OpenStudio 3.9 version    Windows 11 OS
 
Measure.rb line 310 to 318
      BTAP::Geometry::Wizards::create_shape_rectangle(model,
                                                      length = a,
                                                      width = b,
                                                      above_ground_storys = above_grade_floors,
                                                      under_ground_storys = 0, # Set to 1, when modeling a basement
                                                      floor_to_floor_height = floor_to_floor_height,
                                                      plenum_height = plenum_height,
                                                      perimeter_zone_depth = perimeter_depth,
                                                      initial_height = 0.0)

You need to read it carefully: NameError: uninitialized constant BTAP::Geometry::Wizards.
 
TL;DR: Your measure was written targetting an older version of openstudio-standards.
openstudio-standards removed the BTAP::Geometry::Wizardsmodule at version 0.6.0. Methods were moved to another namespace.
 
The new method would be OpenstudioStandards::Geometry.create_shape_rectangle
 
https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-st...
 
 
Commit that moved the methods: https://github.com/NREL/openstudio-st...
 
The OpenStudio-SDK-Version-Compatibility-Matrix has a link to the gemfile were you'll see OS SDK 3.9.0 uses openstudio-standards 0.7.0. You can also know that by calling the OS CLI: openstudio gem_list
