Changing window to wall ratio in Sketchup and PAT

I am trying to change the WWR of the medium office prototype building of DOE (to 0.2 and 0.4) In PAT the analysis failed. I tried to see how it changes if I do it manually in sketup but my model gets distorted. Any help/ though how can I change the WWR in prototype buildings?

Thank you

Thank youyou @ David Goldwasser getting back to this issue, I just realized if the model get distorted by changing WWR in Sketchup that means the same thing happens behind the scenes in PAT and OpenStudio! Is there any way that I could change WWR in prototype buildings without ruining the model?
