Help! Sketchup file error - "Failed to open document"

Hello! Can someone help me with the problem: “Failed to open document”? Currently using Sketchup 2023 Pro, I tried opening it using SKB file but it still shows the same problem. Thanks!

We might be able to help you but only if you share the files.

Where were you saving the file while working on it?

I have uploaded the file on google drive, you can access it here, please:

I was saving it on my laptop’s HDD, but I got a BSOD while saving it.

That’s usually pretty grim. I’ll see if I can get to your files but don’t hold your breath.

Yeah… alright thanks Dave!

Sorry. it’s grim indeed. The .skp is a little more than 50% filled with zeroes and the .skb is even worse at 81% filled with zeroes. Nothing recoverable from either.

Since you have a Pro subscription for SketchUp 2023 you also have unlimited storage on Trimble Connect. You should be also saving a backup there while you are working. In addition to giving you another backup saved elsewhere you’ll wind up with incremental saves so you can go back to an earlier version if needed.
