Any experience with the following Openstudio crash? "An unhandled exception has occurred. Access violation - no RTTI data!"

Hello Unmet hours; first question, so thanks in advance for any/all assistance with the forum and the aforementioned error!

Background: I've generated a fairly large model in SketchUp (no input file errors/warnings), assigned various space types (189.1-2009 Secondary School), and grouped spaces into thermal zones. Launched the Ruby Console and reopened the *.osm filec as a final check; everything seemed OK so I launched OS with plans to assign air/plant loops. I started working through all the OS tabs at LEFT (site, schedules, constructions, etc.), and upon clicking the Facility tab received the following error.

"Unhandled Exception An unhandled exception has occurred. Access violation - no RTTI data!"

Lots of head scratching, resetting of thermal zones, etc but nothing I tried resolved the error. Searching Unmet Hours, I found one similar question but the answer requires @KyleBenne to manually fix your model!

When I open a previous version of the model (post- assigned space types and pre-thermal zoning), I am able to launch OS and view the Facilities tab, so my best guess is the error has something to do with the thermal zoning... Also, using the previous version, I tried the "Add New Thermal Zone For Spaces With No Thermal Zone". With each space now having its own thermal zone, I couldn't repeat the error.

I'd upload photos of the model and thermal zoning, but don't have enough Karma yet. I'd like to understand what is causing the error so I can avoid it in the future, and hopefully save all the work between the old model version and the most recent one!

Some additional details:

  • envelope generation in SketchUp Pro 2015
  • SketchUp plug-in for setting construction/space types/ thermal zoning
  • OpenStudio version 1.8.0
  • All running on 64-bit Windows 7 machine
