[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Adding zones in Open studio after the building is already made



While you can't directly convert a generic SketchUp Model to an OpenStudio or EnergyPlus model, you can use it as a guide.

Here is a link to a tutorial on using a 3d model as a guide.

And here are links to two videos on using imported plans and elevations to create an OpenStudio model.

In both cases if your architectural model is updated, you can re-import it and then adjust the energy model as necessary to reflect the changes.
