Please Help! As of last week I can no longer open my .skp model file in the 2017 version of Sketchup on my laptop. I get an error message saying “Failed to open document”. When I try to open it on the online free version, it says “this does not appear to be a sketchup model”. Are you able to open the file and purge it or something that may save it? Below is a link to the .skp model file.
Full House & Yard Model.skp
No go over here trying to open it in Pro. It’s a similar pattern I’ve seen before; you get the error message, then the window opens like normal only for there to be these two broken pull-down menus in the upper left corner. If you touch them, the whole application spits back a bugsplat report.
Better leave this to @colin and company. They’ve worked miracles before. They should be able to get to the bottom of this.
I downloaded the file hours ago, but then ended up having a busy day!
As with most cases involving older SketchUp files, I could only recover materials and components. Look at this file, and see if any of the recovered components help you to rebuild the scene again.
