Hi all,
Not sure how else to describe it. I'm using Sketchup 2018 with OpernStudio v2.7.0 enabled and I'm creating a energy model. I have different floor heights, with my mixed use first floor 15' and the rest 12'. So I do the floor layout the first floor. I save it and save a copy. I use "Create Spaces From Diagram". I can't do all 5 floors, so I just do the one for 15'. I'm periodically saving the model in addition to the auto-save. Everything is going going along fine and then suddenly I get an error message, something is wrong work my geometry. Not sure what I did to create the error. So I exit and reload Sketchup. Of course the attached .osm that looks like what I was working on appears, but so does the dialog box telling I have to reload the .osm file. When I do this I either get a wire frame of my model and screw it, nothing works. So I exit and relaunch Sketchup only this time I open the .osm without opening the .skp file. Nothing. No .osm file loads.
Starting over with the copy I made, I find this too is also a wire frame. Not the layout I save with the rectangle I created that was grey and all my outlines for the floor. That point where I would normally click "Create Spaces From Diagram". Again, nothing I do gets me back to where I need to be.
I have rebooted my machine and run nothing else but Sketchup thinking maybe there's a conflicting DLL. And still get the same problem. Is Sketchup and OpenStudio supposed to be this buggy? Or am I not doing something I should be doing? HIs there a better solution than Sketchup and OpenStudio for modeling the energy performance of either existing or new construction?
Getting really frustrated here.
