I have two questions needed help:

I installed Sketchup 2021 with OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in 1.6.0 as well as OpenStudio Application v1.6.0. However, when I clicked "Launch OpenStudio" after building a model in Sketchup, the Error showed "Windows can't find C:/openstudioapplication-1.4.0-rc1/bin\OpenStudioApp." Does Sketchup 2021 can’t use the newest version of OpenStudio application or Sketchup Plug-in?
Follow Q1, I installed OpenStudio Application v1.4.0-rc1, the OpenStudio application can be launched, but the model was missing.

After simulation, the result showed Error, and there was no model inside, such as surfaces and zones.

I tried export Sketchup model into EnergyPlus IDF file. It also failed and no model in the file.

Can anyone help those problems?

If you go to the SketchUp Menu Extensions->OpenStudio->Preferences you will see an option to set the "OpenStudio Root Directory". Assuming you installed OpenStudio Application v1.6.0 to the default location, you should set this to "C:/openstudioapplication-1.6.0" and restart SketchUp. After that the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in will be configured to use OpenStudio Application 1.6.0.
