Adding or modifying geometry in an idf

Having pretty much solely used Sketchup/OpenStudio in the past to develop geometry I find myself with a fully baked idf that I may need to split a zone in.

So, any tips or tricks for spitting a zone in an idf? I tired importing the idf into Sketchup, changing the geometry, exporting the idf and then copying only the new geometry objects into the original idf but this was a pretty huge mess (though workable I guess).

Hoping there is something obvious I'm forgetting about.

Thanks.
