An alternative to OpenStudio (application and SketchUp plug-in) that reads and writes OSM files that eventually are translated to IDF files is Euclid, another SketchUp plug-in formerly known as Legacy OpenStudio that reads and writes to IDF files directly. Using Euclid, you can:

• Draw new geometry, which will use the same BuildingSurface:Detailed object that Julien mentioned for all drawn surfaces.
• Open an IDF with existing geometry, including the Floor:Adiabatic object and similar "simpler" surface objects in Julien's list. list above. Euclid will translate these "simpler" surface objects into BuildingSurface:Detailed objects.
