- No changes.
- JavaScript bindings are not packaged with OpenStudio. To use them see our [developer page](https://openstudio.nrel.gov/developers) for guidance on building OpenStudio.
Known Issues
The following are issues known at the time of publication of these release notes. Please contact openstudionrel.gov if you require further assistance.
Known Issues Common to All Platforms
OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in
- If you use copy multiple on group-level OpenStudio objects, you will get one extra copy. The extra group is created by the first copy-and-paste operation and is not removed when the copy multiple occurs. To address this, after you perform a copy multiple procedure on groups or spaces, press delete. The objects you need to delete should already be selected. If you are copying loose surfaces such as windows, there are no problems, as SketchUp will merge equivalent surfaces. [issue 28]
- Using SketchUp's undo operation on OpenStudio model elements may produce unexpected results. [issues 54 and 150]
- SKP and OSM link is not maintained when files are relocated. You can manually re-establish that link. When opening a SketchUp file Launch SketchUp and then Open the SketchUp file. If that doesn't work you can also directly load the OSM file, bypassing the SKP file. [issue 409]
- It is possible for the OpenStudio Plug-in to conflict with other SketchUp plug-ins. If you suspect this is a problem, try testing with other plug-ins disabled, or contact openstudionrel.gov for assistance. [issue 26]
- Importing Constructions and Import Schedules from the OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in are broken, but you can load an OSM file as library in the OpenStudio application and then selectively drag specific objects into your model. [issue 201]
- Using "Intersect" in the surface matching dialog can result in a crash or unexpected result. This is more common with models that were imported from other CAD formats at some point in the workflow. It is a good idea to save prior to using this to avoid any loss of data. This is related to an underlying SketchUp bug. [issue 168]
- "Project Loose Geometry" can crash SketchUp. It is a good idea to save prior to using this to avoid any loss of data. [issue 484]
- If your OpenStudio model crashes SketchUp or has unexpected behavior please forward it to OpenStudioNREL.gov with a description of the problem. Please also include the directory that has the same name as the OSM file. You can attach it as a zip file.
OpenStudio Application
- When going to the Site / Utility Bills subtab after setting up the prerequisite objects you will see an object that can't be edited. That isn't a real object. To add your first object switch away from the "Electric Utility Bill" category at the left, and then click the green "+" to create a new object. [issue 577]
- The Site / Utility Rates subtab the workflow are marked as "coming soon," and will be completed in an upcoming release of OpenStudio.
- To enable set point schedule drop zones on the Thermal Zones tab, you need to first turn on the thermostat.
- Using the mouse scroll wheel while hovering over graphics in the Results Summary tab will unintentionally zoom them in and out. [issue 84]
- Similar thermostats assigned in the SketchUp Plug-in are shared across thermal zones in the OpenStudio application. Changing or turning off one will do the same to others. [issue 123]
- The view does not always refresh correctly when you delete a material from a construction. If you still see a material after clicking the "x", switch away from and back to the object to refresh the view. [issue 196]
- Not all of the schedules required to make a valid People object can be assigned in the application. [issue 107]
OpenStudio ParametricAnalysisTool
- If you plan to run an analysis using the cloud make sure to first run the baseline model locally. This will assure that at simulation results relative to the baseline show up on the results Tab. This is related to a bug in the order in which jobs are run on the cloud.
- As mentioned elsewhere, when using cloud service please make sure to stop the cloud using the cloud button in PAT when your simulation session is done, and after you have downloaded all of the detailed results you want. Then also go the AWS Management Console to confirm the instances are terminated. If they are not terminated, you can manually terminate them from the console.
- PAT won't prevent you from loading OSM files that are from a newer version of OpenStudio than you have installed, but the analysis won't run. [issue 330]
- Daylighting control object variables can't be requested in the output variables tab. [issue 355]
- The results tab may not be legible on a 1024x768 screen. [issue 359]
- Adding a design alternative using measure groups will remove any design alternatives made from external files. You can however add a design alternative made from external files without losing design alternatives made from measure groups. [issue 369]
- Always Run measures are applied to externally constructed design alternatives. This may result in unexpected results or errors. [issue 369]
- The run and cloud buttons may appear unresponsive after you click on them, particularly with very large projects. Please give them time, it may take a minute or two for the status to update.
OpenStudio ResultsViewer
- Alias changes do not update in table view until the data are read in again. [issue 25]
- Re-arranged column order doesn't stick next launch. [issue 30]
OpenStudio RunManager
- EnergyPlus ForwardTranslator errors do not appear in the RunManager GUI elements. [issue 181]
OpenStudio Platform, Including SWIG Bindings
- IdfObject::getQuantity and IdfObject::setQuantity functionality is almost, but not completely, comprehensive. The quantity getters and setters for fields whose units are "BasedOnField AX" are not expected to work at the IdfObject level, but are to be handled only for OS: prefixed objects by the specific interfaces of classes derived from ModelObject.
- The default naming scheme of WorkspaceObject (base class for ModelObject, etc.) sometimes results in undesired name clashes when transferring objects between models, including in the EnergyPlus translators. Therefore, some objects may be unexpectedly renamed or copied.
- OpenStudio::Model::ComponentVector objects may be inaccessible from the Ruby bindings. [issue 239]
Known Issues Specific to OS X
- To Install OpenStudio 1.1.0 correctly on OS X you need to first uninstall earlier versions of OpenStudio. [issue 510]
- The SketchUp Plug-in toolbar tooltips do not work correctly on OS X if you have made your toolbars horizontal. The tooltips never show on OS X in the status bar. The button state may also be incorrect. This is a bug in SketchUp versus the plug-in. [issue 45]
