The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in depends on the OpenStudio Application, follow the instructions at https://openstudiocoalition.org/getting_started/getting_started/ to install the OpenStudio Application first and then install the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in. After installing a new version of the OpenStudio Application, the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in can be configured to use the new OpenStudio Application version by pointing to the new installation directory using the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in's Preferences menu. The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in version compatibility-matrix details the versions of SketchUp, OpenStudio Application, and OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in that are compatible with each other.
The OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in is an extension to Trimble’s popular 3D modeling tool that adds OpenStudio context to the SketchUp program. The Plug-in allows users to quickly create geometry needed for OpenStudio using the built-in functionality of Trimble SketchUp including existing drawing tools, integration with Google Earth, Building Maker, and Photo Match.
