How to quickly create a DOE Reference Building by OpenStudio for test

I am testing the measure i created. But i need to create a osm file for the DOE Reference Building. It seems there are only IDF files for the DOE reference building. But when i import one idf file into OpenStudio, i got some error(File is not valid to draft strictness) even with the matching IDF version(8.2) and OpenStudio version(1.7.0). I guess the best way is to create an osm file in some measure. Any help? Thanks.

A measure to create DOE Commercial Reference Buildings in OpenStudio is currently in the works.

@os_coder This measure is still under active development and has bugs/errors. It is not production ready but we continue to improve it. It should be complete in the next few months.

I wanted to view the geometry of the reference building and I see for Large office-2010, three floors separated from each other by 42' and stacked on top of each other. Is this wrong. Source:- https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio-Pr...
