Compatibility Issues Importing SKP Files from Newer to Older SketchUp Versions

SketchUp
1

Hello,

We are facing an issue with the compatibility of .skp files when importing blocks created in newer versions of SketchUp (such as 2023) into older versions (such as 2020). SketchUp does not allow opening files created in later versions, which prevents some users from importing objects via our plugin.

I would like to know if there is any solution or workaround to this limitation, either through the Ruby API or any native functionality in SketchUp.

There is an extension called Open Newer Version in the Extension Warehouse. Or,the files could be saved as version 2020 from SketchUp 2023.
