As I said in the title, I don't know how to transform or convert an already existing SketchUp drawing into an Openstudio model. It seems impossible that, if I haven't started by drawing my model in a new OpenStudio space, it will not be later possible to (at least) "convert" the already existing SketchUp drawing into an OpenStudio model. Any suggestions? I'm a beginner at using OpenStudio and I drew my model without creating a new OpenStudio model. I drew my model using SketchUp as if there is no OpenStudio plug-in, so creating just a SketchUp model. Now I'd like to assign all kinds of surfaces (and subsurfaces) and the only way I found out so far to do that is to 1)Create a new OpenStudio space; 2)Trace everything again over the existing SketchUp drawing. Only by doing this, I managed to assign surfaces such as walls, floors, roofs and so on. The only problem is that it's really time consuming and if you don't immediately draw your model in an OpenStudio model, you'll have to re-draw it again!

@macumber In addition, before copying the files as described in that post, I also thought it was a good idea to delete all the conflict files (which are easily discoverable because Windows warns you of all conflicts when copying files), just to be sure that SketchUp won't point to these old files again!

Macumber thanks a lot, you were right!!! I re-installed 1.10.4, but I had the same problem, then as a last attempt, I manually tried to point SketchUp to my 1.10.4 installation by copying the files as described in that post [although I actually had this directory (C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp), I tried the same!] and it worked!!! For the first time ever the OpenStudio PLUG-IN is now working on my pc!

No matter how the OpenStudio version is, the result is always the same: 1) Same identical error as the user Monteiro; 2) SketchUp PLUG-IN never worked! The only difference between versions 1.10.0 and 1.10.4 is that with the latter the APPLICATION does work! (With OS 1.10.0 not even the application worked!)

No, I'm sorry to tell you that also OpenStudio 1.10.4 doesn't work as a SketchUp plug-in! It actually works the application but the Sketch-Up PLUG-IN does not! I never managed to make the plug-in work on my pc! I get the same error as the user Monteiro: first this pop-up windows appears: link textthen, ANY choice I make, I get this other pop-up windows: (http://i68.tinypic.com/2uhs4t3.jpg) which translated to English means: "Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-In: 127: Impossible to locate the specify procedure. - Init_openstudiomodelhvac ...

I understand that my question is a duplicate of this (https://unmethours.com/question/14710...), anyway the problem hasn't been solved yet! Can you suggest me what to do either here or in the other duplicate question (where I specified even more details)?

I'm having this problem with both of them (OS 1.10.0 and OS 1.10.4). Yes, using 32 bit build each time. In other words the OpenStudio PLUG-IN for SketchUp never worked, always the same error message!

By installing OpenStudio 1.10.4 I ONLY managed to run the OpenStudio program. The OpenStudio plug-in for SketchUp is NOT working as before! Any suggestions?

This is exactly the same problem and error I've been encountering so far! UPDATE 03/07/16: issue solved using version 1.10.4! My O.S.: Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1, OpenStudio: 1.10.0 (not working version) using 32 bit build, Energy Plus 8.4.

Hi, I'm having trouble with the installation of Openstudio 1.10.0. I downloaded the executable, I was able to install it but, every time I open Sketchup, I get a pop-up message which says: "Welcome to Openstudio Sketchup Plug-in, switch between the new and legacy versions of the plug-in using Plugins--> Select Openstudio Version" then "Yes to see the getting started guide now, No to skip this message next time, Cancel to do nothing". Any choice I make, I get the following message in a pop-up window: "Error loading OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-In: 127:Unable to find the following procedure - Init_openstudiomodelhvac C:/Users/"MyComputer"/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp2016/SketchUp/Plugins/openstudiomodelhvac.so" At this point I can only press OK and SketchUp will start with the only plug-in I have been able to successfully install: the Legacy Openstudio plug-in! I have no other choice! Useless to say that I tried many times to uninstall/install the OpenStudio plug-in but I still get the same pop-up windows and the Openstudio plug-in won't start. My O.S. is Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 32bit, Service Pack 1. Any solution for my issue? Is there a missing file or something wrong during my installation? I'm using SketchUp to create a geometry for EnergyPlus and I'm not able to find out whether this issue is caused by the unsuccessful installation of OpenStudio plug-in or by Energy Plus itself. In addition, if I try to run a simulation without using the Legacy OpenStudio SketchUp plug-in to create a geometry for the IDF file, I won't get any Energy Plus crash. Thanks in advance, kind regards,
