2020-10-15 23:31:34 -0500 marked best answer sketchup 2019 openstudio plugin User Scripts Reports function failure

Hello, I'm using the newest version openstudio sketchup plugin v1.0.1. However, all the functions under Reports are failed to work at all. I reinstalled the openstudio plugin, and tried a few new models, but the problem presists. I understand the report function is relatively an old function, but it is quite helpful to calculate the spaces not assigned with thermal zones. As I ran the space type report in Sketchup 2019, the Ruby console showed the following lines:


Running Space Type Report Error occurred while running user script: Invalid argument @ rb_sysopen - "D:\Projects\Baohua_SpaceTypeReport.csv_.csv" (Errno::EINVAL)

2019-02-27 21:41:19 -0500 marked best answer Fan coil unit parameters simulation problem.

I am setting up a Openstudio proposed building model with DOAS and fan coil units according to previous question

All the parameters for the fan coil unit are all set up according to the designed sechdule. There is one of the fan coil cooling coil setting, which is showed in the following picture.image description The err shows the following lines: image description

Here are linkes for the folder and the OSM file for this model.

2018-02-01 23:51:21 -0500 marked best answer Surface matching is not working properly

image description i am using Sketchup 2017 with Openstudio 2.1. I run the intersect function and then match the surface for the entire model. However, the result didn't seem great like the screenshot. I created the model with great discretion without making any unnecessary room intersections. Is there any solutions for this?
