This is at least part of the story- I just drew the fractional schedules down and got a significant change.

2017-07-25 16:10:42 -0500 marked best answer Secondary Daylight control ignored

Hello all,

[currently using OS 1.14 on a Windows 10 computer]

I have a question about using the radiance daylighting capability measure, because I'm seeing some contradictory info about it online. On forum responses, it's stated that there's two daylighting controls. But when I run my OS model with the radiance measure, it sends a message saying that the 'secondary' daylighting control will be ignored, and I see this repeated in the instructions online (https://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-use...). My question is- are the secondary daylighting controls in fact ignored in the current version of OS/radiance I use (I have whichever radiance gets automatically installed w/ OS 1.14), and are they included/used in any newer versions of Openstudio?

2017-03-20 23:04:47 -0500 commented answer OpenStudio SketchUp Installation

Macumber, in a similar case of my Sketchup apparently not being able to find the openstudio package that I installed, I had a C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp directory, with a 'plugins' folder in it, but for some reason I still needed to do that copying trick you described above to make Sketchup actually load with the Openstudio plugin. All seems well now...should I assume that the workflow will now function correctly?
