Bonjour, J’ai créé un fichier sketchup (PRO 2022) qui fonctionnait bien jusqu’à vendredi. J’ai essayé de l’ouvrir aujourd’hui, mais un message d’erreur s’est affiché : “Ceci ne semble pas être un modèle SketchUp”, rien à faire je ne peux plus l’ouvrir … Je travaille avec Windows, l’ordinateur est récent (moins de 3 mois), la carte graphique est performante, je ne comprends pas. J’arrive à ouvrir tous les autres fichiers sketchup sans problème. Je n’arrive pas à vous envoyer le fichier car il est trop gros (105 Mo), comment puis-je vous l’envoyer ? Merci par avance pour votre aide. ---

Create Backup is enabled by default in SketchUp Preferences. SketchUp will automatically create a backup file of the previous saved version of a model anytime you create a new save. Backup files use the .skb file type on Windows . They save in the same location as the .skp file. You can try to rename this backup file to .skp and try to open that one. > [@CASADEQUAT77](#): > > Je n’arrive pas à vous envoyer le fichier car il est trop gros (105 Mo), comment puis-je vous l’envoyer ? You can use a common cloud service to upload your model (Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive, Onedrive…etc.), then share a link with us… ---

Dear Sir I am currently encountering the same problem for a very important file for me, if you can repair it or recover it you really saved my life, I can no longer open it after a very long time of work [Unique Download Link | WeTransfer](https://we.tl/t-hYTKWHkLGz) 🙏 ---

Your file contains nothing but zeroes. There’s nothing in it to recover? What version of SketchUp are you really using? It is not the free web version. Is it a cr acked version? Where have you been saving the file while working on it? ---

As I told you, there’s nothing in it to recover. Do you have the .skb backup file? ![Screenshot - 1_15_2025 , 6_18_46 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/6/4/64f0030dfbd41ca803600f918f9f62c1959f402e.png) ---

Sorry there’s nothing we can do with your files. Make sure when you are working on the next file that you save it to the internal drive on the computer. If you need to make it portable, copy the file from the internal drive to your USB memory stick or whatever you are using. Do not work on a file saved directly to a USB drive. ---
