Error message "failed to open document"

Please help!!

Hi all, I have spent hours working on this file but when I try to open it, the following error message “Failed to open document” pops up. I have the 2023 version and have also tried opening it with the 2024 version but getting the same error message. I tried opening the skb file but same error message again!

I am new to Sketchup and this forum. Greatly appreciate if someone can help as it’s for an assessment that’s due soon!

Nobody can begin to help you before you share your model.
If it is over ± 15MB share it through dropbox or we-transfer. Make sure it is made public!

And please update your forum profile. 2023 is not an operating system. It would be Windows or Mac with a version number. 100 is not a graphics card… This information helps us help you!

If you were working on a file from a network, cloud, or external drive that might be the cause. On rare occasions, something happens during save to such places that can break a file. If you share it here, sometimes one of the SketchUp staff can salvage part or all of it.
