Hello. I'm really new at all this and I have trouble with some of the basics. I want to simulate an office building but I cant seem to figure out the correct way to save my progress, which is causing a lot of frustration. frustration... I'm using SketchUp 2014 SU2014 with OpenStudio 1.5.

OS1.5. What I do is:

1. is: 1) Create some Spaces, Thermal Zones and Geometry
2. Geometry 2) Selecting Save As or Export from the OpenStudio menu doesnt seem to do anything so I start with Save As .skp model from the File menu
3. menu 3) I am then able to use all options under OpenStudio menu (Save As, Export as both .idf and .osm)

.osm) When I reopen SketchUp, I can't open any of the files I previously saved!

saved! The .skp file is blank, and both .idf and .osm files give me error messages (some message about EP versions vesrions and a "Validity Validity check: Failed to load file" file ... for the .osm file)

file) I'm pretty sure I'm missing something really simple here, any help please?
