Revision history [back]

Hey guys,

I'm working in OpenStudio 2.8.0. and SketchUp 2017 version 17.2.2555. I created my geometries in Sketchup before moving on to create my constructions, zones, systems. When I went to run the model I had failures relating to "degenerate" surfaces. From reading other posts here, I learned I needed to go back and edit m geometries to tighten them up. However, when I try to open the OSM through the Sketchup plugin I get this error for multiple surfaces: "Sub Surface 2 This sub surface's base surface 'Surface 503' does not have a face polygon, it cannot be drawn." I click ok and nothing pops up. However, I open the model inspector and everything pops up in there. On other posts I read that they would appear if they double click on an element in the inspector, but mine will not produce that. It just stays blank.

I did already try and uninstall/reinstall both softwares. If anyone thinks they might have a lead, I would appreciate it. Or if you need more info, let me know.

Update: I went into the code and deleted the surfaces that had been reported in the error as degenerate. That still will not get my model to show. Going to try and do that with the subsurfaces as recommended below. The script does not work for that as no model is visually shown.
