I am writing a user script, to go into the OpenStudio SketchUp plugin, to add multiple horizontal shades over a window.

I don't understand why I can't change the vertices of an ShadingSurface object through the setVertices method.

sh1 = model.getShadingSurfaces[0]
p = OpenStudio::Point3d.new(1,1,1)
sh1.setVertices(p)
Error: #<TypeError: Expected argument 1 of type std::vector< openstudio::Point3d,std::allocator< openstudio::Point3d > > const &, but got OpenStudio::Point3d #<OpenStudio::Point3d:0x00024a...
    in SWIG method 'setVertices'>

How do I interpret that error message? Is it possible to create a ShadingSurface through the API, passing vertices to the constructor?

You may want to look at Add rooftop PV measure for example. It copies the vertices from the roof surface, and offsets them vertically to create shading surfaces.

It's expecting a vector (of vertices) object, not a (single) vertex object.
