Thanks, David. That was extremely helpful, and very detailed.

The SketchUp model was actually thin-walled, and spaces were completely enclosed, but since there were only about a dozen spaces that we were dealing with, I opted to just follow your suggestion to delete everything down to the floor planes and extrude them into spaces. When all was said and done, even considering adding fenestration back in, I don't think it took me more than an hour to come up with something usable.

I'm working with a colleague of mine on a somewhat unique project, and earlier this afternoon he sent me a .skp of the buildings we're working with. Turns out, he doesn't have the OpenStudio plugin installed, and literally just built the structures as SketchUp geometries.

My question is, is it possible to take what he's done an manually go in and assign spaces/zones/material properties en route to creating an osm? I realize this isn't the prescribed workflow, but I haven't been able to find (that's not to say it isn't out there) any reference of someone attempting to go down this path.

Thanks.
