How to fix surfaces that can not be detected?

Dear friends, I need help here. Yesterday I made a building model always using Sketchup-OpenStudio plugin buttons, then I save it temporarily. When I opened it again with the Sketchup-OS plugin, only the wireframe structure showed up and the surfaces could not be detected. But, If I opened it using OpenStudio application, the model seemed fine as you can see on the following picture.

Additionally, I tried to open several previous OSM files that already run completed successfully in Energyplus. They could be re-run again, but, they are all showing the same as the above case. So, I can not edit the geometry with Sketchup-OS plugin.

I have tried to run the diagnostic script, update the graphic card, and reinstall Sketchup and OpenStudio plugin as well, but no changes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
