Sketchup to gbXML by OpenStudio - software probelm

hello!

I aimed exporting a Sketchup modell to gbXML format. I tried 2 ways, but none of them worked. Can anyone help me?

Method 1: I installed Sketchup 2015 and OpenStudio 1.14 (Energy plus 8.4 is installed). After starting Sketchup i recieve this message: Cannot locate Data Dictionary file Energy+.idd - Open Studio will not be loaded.

Method 2: To eliminate this problem, I intalled Sketchup 2013 and OpenStudio 1.11 (Energy plus 8.1 is installed). Sketchup and OS starts normally, but in the Plugins/Legacy Openstudio menu the import/export button is not visible.

Thank you for your advice, Peter
