While it takes some time to do this, as the architectural model is updated over time, you can import it into SketchUp, via OpenStudio, and adjust the EnergyPlus model for any changes made int he architectural model.

If the SketchUp geometry is exactly what you want for your heat transfer surfaces then you can copy that geometry, make a new zone, and then paste in place. There will be some cleanup work to re-classify fenestration surfaces (something we hope to fix in next release).
