I tried to export a file from Sketchup pro 2019 to EnergyPlus IDF . But sketchup generates this error.

Warnings occurred on translation to EnergyPlus

Warning: Construction 'Air Wall' has been converted to ConstructionAirBoundary 'Air Wall_ConstructionAirBoundary'.

Warning: Removing AirWallMaterial 'Air Wall Material'.

Warning: Object of type 'OS:ShadingControl' and named 'Shading Control 1' does not control any SubSurfaces, will not be translated

Are you using the OpenStudio extension to export the IDF from SketchUp?

Sketchup generates these WARNINGS. You can disregard them as long as you understand them. The construction Air Wall / AirBoundary is safe to disregard. The shading control... depends on whether you meant for it to be actually used or not.
