When saving your OpenStudio Model, make sure your filename ends with the ".osm" extension. A linked SketchUp file also has saved scenes, drawing styles, and section cut location. ![]() The benefit of having a link to a SketchUp file is to maintain a relationship with non-OpenStudio content that you may have in your model, such as a base plan or base model. All the energy model content is saved in the OSM file, not in the SketchUp file. If you close and reopen your linked SketchUp file (.skp), it will reload the content from the OSM file. If you save your OSM file and then save your SketchUp Model, the SketchUp Model will maintain a link to the OSM. Saves your OpenStudio Model as an OpenStudio file (.osm). It does not close your current SketchUp file, but loads a different OpenStudio Model into it. Use this feature to close your current OpenStudio Model and open an OpenStudio file (.osm). If you want to add additional template types you must go to the Extentions/OpenStudio User Scripts/On-Demand Template Generators/Space Type and Construction Set Wizard. On a PC the template dialog will be available once and you can choose templates. On a Mac it creates an empty model and you have to go under the menu item Extentions/OpenStudio User Scripts/On-Demand Template Generators/Space Type and Construction Set Wizard to add template items like constructions, schedules, and space types. This tool closes your current OpenStudio Model and creates a new one. These functions are also located the OpenStudio Plug-in menu. Tools in this set create, open, save, import, or export data to or from your model. ![]() This section provides the legend for toolbars and menus available in the Plug-in. We know one thing, you do need both files, it’s not completely embedded… which is nice to know.Īnyhow, I’m going to keep working on this until an answer is found.OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Interface Guide It will be red if the link is broken, as I suppose it will be. >File >Document Setup – References, and choosing the ‘relink’ button. skp file.īUT, you might have to reestablish the connection by going into. This layout file should work with your existing. Layer testing-01(jd Alt).layout (110.9 KB) You might try a different template paper on your end to see what happens. anything that makes sense to me isn’t working right now, unfortunately. or, I’ll finally stumble upon it myself, out of sheer dumb luck. At the very worst, I guess you’ll have to wait for that info to come along, and that probably won’t take too long. Other’s will know much more about this than I do. I wouldn’t imagine that it would be built into the page itself, but then who knows, maybe the template does have certain properties that are setup as part of the formatting options for any available template. There’s some page linking going on here (in your version), and I just don’t know what the nature of the settings are. Making a New Layout on different paper, I am able to get scene independence on each page. When I deleted pages in your doc, on your paper, I couldn’t copy new pages which had scene independence. The only difference I can see is that we used different paper in Layout. Scene’s have style independence which is sometimes useful. And as an additional option, if you wanted to, you could even change the Style which is used for each scene. When creating New Scene’s - Use the visibility buttons on the Layers Panel as you see fit. ![]() Once that’s done select a group/component, and use the ‘Entity Info’ window to reassign it’s layer placement. Draw everything on Layer 0, and then when your done, make groups/components of your work. Layer in SketchUp aren’t the same as they are in AutoCAD – In SketchUp you should typically try to stay on ‘Layer 0’ ALL of the time. and also helps with layout continuity between the pages (which you may, or may not, want to have).Ī word of caution about working with Layers in SU: this saves having to insert another instance of the SU model onto page two, or subsequent pages. Then on the second page change the scene setting to the other views you want to use. ![]() One benefit of that approach is that after you setup your first page in Layout, and insert a SU model into it - From there you can just make a copy of that page. That will result in a context menu popping up, from which you can go down to the ‘Scenes’ options, and choose one of the scenes which you set up in SU. Then from within Layout you could insert your SketchUp file, and right click on top of the model’s viewport. If you were to Create a New Scene in SU, to represent each viewport that you want to see in Layout. Layers in SU don’t equate to pages in Layout. ![]()
