- If it asks, set the path to the OpenStudio Application folder. By default it should be C:\openstudioapplication-1.2.1. This step can cause problems if you have other versions of OpenStudio or the SketchUp-extension installed. Try to use matching versions. You can manually change this in SketchUp later if needed: Extensions>OpenStudio>Preferences.
