Wireframe issues in sketchup osm model

Hi everyone, I'm facing a serious issue with my OpenStudio model and would appreciate any help.

I created a two-story university building with a complex shape in SketchUp using the OpenStudio plugin. Everything was working fine yesterday, and I made multiple backups of the model. However, today when I opened the same .osm file in SketchUp, the model appears only as a wireframe. When I go to View > Face Style > Shaded with Textures, it shows a typical SketchUp model — not the OpenStudio geometry with editable spaces.

However, when I open the same file in the OpenStudio Application, all the thermal zones and spaces are visible in the OSM structure. I also checked with the OSM Diagnostic Tool, and it still shows the correct objects. But I can no longer edit the geometry in SketchUp, and none of the backup files load correctly either.

For context, I had recently used the "Intersect and Surface Matching" measure in OpenStudio to fix some surface intersection problems.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? Is there a way to recover the editable geometry in SketchUp, or convert this back to a usable form? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
