2014-10-22 10:23:22 -0500 commented answer Install OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin on Mac OSX

Since the new OpenStudio application supports gbXML, I would like to work with OpenStudio application. I just did a test regarding the function. I started from a OpenStudio model (.osm) and export to gbxml and then import into OpenStudio from this gbXML file, i.e., .osm --> Expert to gbXML, --> Import to .osm. However, it seems the gbxml model does not have the thermal zoning, story information. As least, the second osm model can not directly run without some changes. I was wondering do you have an example gbxml model that can import to

HI @ Daniel, Thanks for your answer. In fact, my primary reason to install and use SketchUp Plugin is to test the gbXML import and export function. I have attended one of previous webinar introducing OpenStudio and Simergy. In that video, the gbxml was imported through SketchUp.

Can anyone help check whether the Legacy OpenStudio Plug-in for SketchUp V 1.0.11 (http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/building...) is indeed the latest version for Mac OSX? I have followed the entire installation procedure with SketchUp 2014, EnergyPlus 8.2, Openstudio 1.5 installed. But, the OpenStudio Plugin shown in the SketchUp looks like the very old version, e.g., it does not have the gbxml import function. I took two screenshots but do not have enough points to upload files.
