I seem to have trouble with my save files. Due to that more errors occur, but I think this is the main problem. The error I get is the following:

ERROR:
Errno::EACCES
Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/Mans/Documents/Stage/SketchUp/Veldhuisje2.skp

CONFIGURATION:
Euclid 0.9.3
SketchUp 18.0.16975 64-bit Pro
Ruby 2.2.4 x64-mingw32

Someone have experience with this issue? I run SketchUp Pro 2018 on Windows 10.

Edit: I also get this error when opening my save file (.skp file).

ERROR:
RangeError
0x00000aaff3cb90 is not id value

I believe the issue is that you are using the SketchUp File menu to save and open your file--this only saves the .skp file. Don't use these. In fact, you won't use the .skp file at all. Instead, use the Euclid menu options to save and open the EnergyPlus .idf file. Save the EnergyPlus file using the menu command Extensions/Euclid/Save. Open the EnergyPlus file using the menu command Extensions/Euclid/Open...

This is a common problem that many new users run into. We've documented it in our issue tracker as a bug and hope to find a more user-friendly way to anticipate the mistake.

Complementing Mr Peter Ellis... Use the upper menu from SketchUp just for open a new file. After this, create a model and save (or save as) your file with the Euclid menu. When you want to open it again, repeat the process – new file by the SketchUp menu and open IDF file by Euclid menu.
