[EnergyPlus_Support] Sketchup model questions

["Kristin Gustafson" <kristingustafson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I'm creating a model in sketchup using the energy+ plugin, and since I'm learning as I go, have a few queries. If anyone is able to help me, I would appreciate it.

*Is there an easy way to 'erase' walls between zones? I'm using a perimeter/core zoning model, but there is no actual physical barrier between zones. I want to ensure that the air movement between zones is modelled.

*When using the push/pull to create building height, I've used floor-to-floor height versus floor-to-ceiling. Will this create problems for the model for stratification? Is there a way to indicate a dropped ceiling?

*The sketchup models seem to crash after saving and closing, so that they cannot be reopened. Is this typical or is it a problem with how I am creating the model?

Kind regards
K Gustafson
