#45 How to import .skp to .idf?

[Vince Tam]

Direction needed.

1. How to use existing sketchup model to run simulation?
It seems that Energyplus Plugin cannot open regular .skp
Does everything need to draw from scratch in New Energy Zone in order to recognize the elements of building?
I tried to open New Energy Zone and copy my model into the box, but the information will not shown in the Energyplus info.

2. I draw a simple house from scratch in NewEnergy Zone and tried to run the simulation.
However it says, " cannot locate the energyplus engine. correct the EXE path and try again."
where could i find the engine?

Thankyou!
