OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in in SketchUp 2024 I upgraded SketchUp to the latest release of SketchUp 2024 and now the Open

I got an email saying OpenStudio 2.0 was released, where can I download it?

Sounds good, just thought I would ask, thanks for the hints

I've played around with measures and had some success writing my own. However, some times I find I cannot figure out the right ways to call every method or what the methods are. Is there a list of people who are willing to write measures for hire?

When I am working in the legacy plug-in now I get extra surfaces in my IDF that make my simulation fail. Does anyone else see this? How to fix it?

I'm really interested in learning more about this new feature in OpenStudio 1.7.0 that @ljbrackney posted about on LinkedIn but I do not know what this "Konami code" is? Can anyone share the code? Does it cost extra?

I installed OpenStudio 1.11.0 but it will not load in SketchUp 2016. I go to Preferences->Extensions and click on OpenStudio but nothing happens. I have not had this happen before, does anyone know what is going on?

Sounds like this sums it up pretty well, cool that you can just get the updates from the BCL :-)

I installed SketchUp 2016 and OpenStudio and OpenStudio did not automatically start. I was able to get it to start by going to window->preferences->extensions but why is not checked by default?

Been staying busy, just trying to get ready for winter now. It is not a pleasant season where I am from.

SketchUp 2016 was just released, does OpenStudio work with it?

Is there a way to "like" an OpenStudio feature request? For example, this one would be great to fix since it is so annoying to have to always be running this scan for tools. Is there a way to vote to make it get fixed faster?

I am interested in helping test OpenStudio releases before they come out, how can I help?

EnergyPlus issues warnings about non-convex surfaces, can I safely ignore them? Which calculations are thrown off by non-convex surfaces? Does the answer depend on which value of 'Solar Distribution' I set?

There are times when I have had to copy or modify objects in my OSM file by hand. I get that each object has a handle and that the objects refer to each other by handle instead of names. If I copy an object I usually just change a number or two in the handle to create a new one, is this ok? Is there a better way to create a handle for an OSM object?

I just upgrade to OpenStudio 1.7.0 and the results page is really messed up, does anyone else see this?

I have another question about EnergyPlus. I made a study with a stair stepped roof, the lower steps seemed to be shaded. Then I deleted all the wall surfaces leaving only roof surfaces and the lower steps were no longer shaded. Can roof surfaces shade other roof surfaces in EnergyPlus?
