how to build EnergyPlus IDF file in Google SketchUp?

Hey All, I try to build the geometry of a building in SketchUp and then convert it into EnergyPlus(for thermal zone, construction, etc only) without HVAC system. Previous i used the SketchUp2013 and Legacy OpenStudio Plugin 3 years ago. However, the SketchUp changed so much and older software are no longer available. It seems NREL no longer supports the Legacy OpenStudio Plugin. I tried the latest one: Euclid. Quite confusing on how to use it.
Plus the Youtube videos are all about old version software. Anyone can give some help? Thanks.
