SketchUp Plugin v1.1.0
OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Version 1.1.0
The OpenStudio Coalition is proud to announce the releases of OpenStudio Application v1.1.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in v1.1.0. These releases are based on OpenStudio SDK v3.1.0 which uses EnergyPlus v.9.4.0.
Overview
Following an important announcement related to future development of the OpenStudio Application released in September 2019 (A Shift in BTO’s BEM Strategy: A New Future for the OpenStudio Application), this release marks the first major release of the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in by the OpenStudio Coalition.
Going forward, the OpenStudio SDK will continue to be distributed and released by NREL and U.S. DOE two times per year, in April and October. The OpenStudio SDK includes the C++ SDK, Ruby API, Command Line Interface (CLI), OpenStudio Standards, and integrated EnergyPlus and Radiance packages.
The OpenStudio Coalition will be distributing and releasing new versions of the OpenStudio Application and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in as new versions of the OpenStudio SDK are released. Development of the OpenStudio Application has moved to https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/OpenStudioApplication and development of the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in has moved to https://github.com/openstudiocoalition/openstudio-sketchup-plugin.
OpenStudio Application Version 1.1.0 and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in Version 1.1.0 are the first major releases of these programs distributed by the OpenStudio Coalition. Notable changes include:
- Update OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in startup scripts
- Allow changing OpenStudio Application location from preferences menu
- Distribute OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in in SketchUp Extension Warehouse
- Bug fixes
Note that PAT and DView are not included in either the SDK or Application installers. You will need to install PAT separately which is distributed on the OpenStudio-PAT GitHub page and DView at the Dview home page.
Installation Steps
Important note - OpenStudio Application v1.1.0 is based on OpenStudio 3.1.0 which is built using Ruby 2.5.5. SketchUp 2021 upgraded to Ruby 2.7.1 which is incompatible with Ruby 2.5.5. There is an enhancement request to upgrade OpenStudio's Ruby version to 2.7.1 for a future release.
1 ) Install OpenStudio Application v1.1.0 or higher
2 ) Install SketchUp 2019 or 2020 desktop client if not already installed.
3 ) Download openstudio-sketchup-plugin.rbz plugin
4 ) Launch SketchUp desktop client. Navigate to: Window -> Extension Manager -> Install Extension -> Browse to openstudio.rbz
5 ) A dialog box will prompt for root path of OpenStudio Application, e.g. 'C:\openstudioapplication-1.1.0'. It should automatically populate if the OpenStudio Application was installed to the default location.
6 ) SketchUp should now load the extension.
