interior partitions in sketchUp are set as walls

In my sketchup modelled I use "surface matching". Then if i use "section plane" I can see trhough the inspector that the interior walls are not set as "interior partition surface", but as simple walls. I'm afraid that then OpenStudio could read these walls as exterior, and not as interior. Do you know a easy way to set these walls as interior surfaces? Or will OpenStudio recognize them automatically as internal, because of the boundary conditions?image description
