I have been using the pencil tool to draw squares on the side of my building in SketchUp and then add photovoltaics to those squares using the OpenStudio Plug-In. All the sudden, whenever I draw lines, they are more bold than the other lines I've been drawing and it wont let me select the scare to add photovoltaics to it. It almost seems as if the lines are behind the surface when you select the them. I'm not sure what made it so the lines started to be bold, or how to switch it back.

I'm trying to add photovoltaics using OpenStudio SketchUp Plug In, and I am waiting for the surface to change like in (https://unmethours.com/question/15483...), but it's not happening. Are there any requirements for the surfaces in order to add photovoltaics?

I want to put a solar cell on the outside of a building to measure the solar input.

Thank you so much! One last question: How would I put in the solar cells to the model? Can I do this in sketch up?
