Thanks David. That works and solves my problem.

Ah, herein lies the problem. It is light purple. Is there any easy way to flip the shading surface? I can only seem t

I have modeled a building openstudio 1.14.0 with EnergyPlus 8-6-0 and am exporting several output variables and meters to csv files, and all runs fine when the reporting frequency is set to 'hourly.' However, I am interested in seeing the data at 15-minute intervals. I am running into 2 issues when I switch the reporting frequency from 'hourly' to 'timestep':

(1) When I change the reporting frequency to 'timestep' for the output variables, the model runs without error messages, but does not generate any csv files with the variable data.

(2) When I change the reporting frequency to 'timestep' for the meters, the model fails and I get my least favorite error message: "...being ignored in restricted program because of @executable_path"

Is there another method for viewing meter and output variable data at 15-minute intervals? Has anyone run into these issues?

Thanks for the note, Julien. I had changed the timestep in the OpenStudio Measure 'AddMeter', but not in the Reporting

Yes, for the variables I'm using the measure 'Export Output Variable to CSV' and for the meters, I'm using the measure '

2-part question regarding the BCL measure "Create Baseline Building":

1. I've downloaded Create Baseline Building into OpenStudio (v 1.14.0), but when I try to run the measure, I get the following error: "Failed to Show Arguments, Reason(s): Failed to compute arguments for measure: cannot load such file -- openstudio-standards." -- Any suggestions for solutions here?

2. When I get this measure up and running, is there a way to set the baseline to California Title 24, rather than ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G?

I knew it would be something simple like that, thanks @MatthewSteen

I'm modeling a multifamily housing building in OpenStudio. Most of the space types are associated with the Midrise Apartment building type, however there is no option for Midrise Apartment schedules. I started this model in Sketchup and loaded the Midrise Apartment building type through the Space Type and Construction Set Wizard (so all of the Midrise Apartment space types appear in my Sketchup model, but this seems to be lost in OpenStudio).

In OpenStudio, I only have schedules and schedule sets available for office spaces. I do not see the option to add schedules from the Building Components Library either. I feel like I'm missing something pretty simple - any suggestions?

Hi David,

When I followed your instructions here, I get the following message: "Error: Cannot load Model for path '/file path/FileName.skp' Extension must be 'osm'. For 'osc's use loadComponent."

When I try to open the .osm file, nothing happens.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded and installed EnergyPlus-8-6-0, OpenStudio 1.14.0, Sketchup 2017 and the OpenStudio Legacy v1.0.14 plugin on a mac OSX. The Legacy OpenStudio plugin appears in the extension manager, but I do not seem to have the functionality of OpenStudio in Sketchup. When I display all of the potential toolbars, I do not see the toolbar items that are used for OpenStudio in the tutorials (e.g. creating new model from a template, changing space types, etc.) I am very new to all of this, so it is possible that I am missing something quite simple.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
