Problem with sketchup-openstudio plugin
I am getting recurring error when i am addings widows to my building in sketchup. The error appears to be in openstudio plugin. I have made the model couple of times from scratch but this errors seems to happen each time when i start adding windows. After the error the open studio toolbar disappears and building shows up as wireframe structure. After this it is impossible to add anything to model. Please suggest how avoid this error.
Plus I have observed that many times while using project loose geometry command the windows are not created I have to do it 2-3 times to create window. Why is this happening?

I am trying to create windows on a 5 storey building. I am not using the WWR tool but manually inserting windows by creating rectangle of same dimension and then using "project loose geometry" tool. however over some surfaces I am facing problems that the windows are not being created. Apart from this I have certain observations as follows:
1) Over some surface I have to mention Length first followed by height, for eg 4,5 where 4 is length and5 is height, and on some surfaces it should be vice versa.
2) I am creating a rectangle of dimension of window and then pasting it on all the surfaces which have similar window size. when i project these loose geometry then not all windows are created. I observed that all the surfaces where the length, breath format of mentioning dimension gets reversed the windows are not project. Why is this happening??
3) As it is quite big building, after adding certain number of windows an error occurs after which the OS plugin disappears and building appears in wireframe. after this now windows can be added and no editing of model is effective any more. I am attaching the error as pictures. !st pic shows the error other shows the building how it looks after error.
4) While creating windows using WWR method such errors were never seen, is it some problem while creating individual windows? and how to go about it as having uniform window length using WWR method would not give right representation of building, as different rooms have different windows sizes & over hangs depending upon their orientation.
