Hello,

I am working with Sketchup 2014 and OpenStudio 1.5 and I have an issue where I have about 5 sub-surfaces that do not show up in the sketchup model because they do not have a corresponding surface. Is there any way that I can remove these sub-surfaces from my model?

Closed for the following reason the question is answered, right answer was accepted by binnsj

Hi,

If I understood, you want to remove Subsurfaces that don't have corresponding surfaces, is it?

There is a script for this. In SkecthUp, go to Plug-ins > OpenStudio User Scripts > Alter or Add Model Elements > Remove Orphan Subsurfaces.

Yes that is what I was looking to do and that script worked perfectly, thank you very much!

Hi, how about the error "This sub surface is not contained by its base surface, it cannot be drawn."? I have check the OS Inspector sub surface and found that this sub surface (sub surface 4) does not exist in the model. I have tried the method as mentioned above, but it said "no orphan sub-surfaces to remove." I guess it is not consider as orphan sub-surface. Any idea on how to remove this sub-surface? Thanks in advance.
