Dear Venerable Forum members;
I am a rookie in this community of handling Energy Plus Simulation (Version 0.8.0). I've handled other simulation programs before but, this one seems to top off all others in terms of complexity. I know I will need to ask a lot but, first can I bother you members for a few tips on saving and retrieving the osm file that retains the geometry I have created. As I do the geometry buildup, it keeps asking me if I want to save the file, so I save the file under the osm extension onto the desktop yet, when I go back to Desktop, I can not see the file icon. So I come back to the program and save the file this time under skp extension onto the Desktop then and only then, I can see the skp file icon on the Desktop. So I close the program and open up the file in hopes to see the geometry I built in the program. However, I get the
geometry briefly on the SketchUp while the program is in real SketchUp mode but, after the SketUp mode switchs to OpenStudio Model mode( means having more buttons showing up around the sketch screen), the geometry disappear from the screen. It's just so baffling and very frustrating that I keep losing the geometry I have built so hard. Can anyone tell me how this problem is supposed to be rectified? Greatly thankful for any input.
