Failed to open / Please help

Hi there,

I can not open file.
“Failed to open”
There isn’t backup .skb file to try and recover.
I’ve tried importing it into a new file and also uploaded to 3D warehouse.
No luck.
If anyone can work their recovery magic he’d greatly appreciate it.

In your forum profile you are indicating your License Type: Free Plan. There is no free version of SketchUp 2023.
Are you using cracked software?

I’m using a computer at work, I’m not sure what plan the company is on.

You can check in SketchUp. Menu Help>Manage Licencing .
Do you see Classic Licence or Subscription Plan?

Classic License / Business Edition

Can you help me?

Currently I’m behind corporate firewall, which does not allow downloading from most of the file share sites… I’ll get home in a few hours (4-6), if nothing else helps then I’ll check…

BTW if you have classic license for 2023, it is a bad sign, most likely it is a cracked one… :thinking:

Thank You!

The file doesn’t open in SketchUp 2024

It is working in 2023.

Your post says the opposite

you mean it was working ?

anyway, the file is almost empty, some code at the start, but then nothing. on the right, top part contains code, huge bottom one is only zeroes.

did you try taking the skb file and renaming it to skp ?

Yes, but it brings me back almost to the beginning. Thanks for trying!

I am working on version 2023, where is the contradiction

It’s unfortunate but since there’s nothing to recover in your .skp file. Where have you been saving it while working on it.

Before you do any more work on it, stop using the cracked version you have and get a legal subscription. Then make sure as you work on your project that you are saving to the internal drive on the computer and also saving a backup to the Trimble Connect storage included with the subscription.

I use a computer at work, so thanks for the tip, but it’s not up to me

It’s really all up to you! Companies are made up of people who can act according to their own will. “Command” is no excuse for sin.
Ps:
If you are using cracked software and come to cry on the forum of the creator of the software, it is a little more than naughty…

I don’t even know if it’s cracked, you’re telling me that. I don’t know why you need to be mean after I politely thanked you. It says there is a subscription, so I have no way of knowing, and I’m not even arguing

We’re not being mean to you. There is no legal classic license called Business Edition which is what you tell us you’re using.

There is only a cracked version called Business Edition. It’s not a subscription.
