Hi. I have received this message while opening file in purchased sketch up pro " this does not appear to be a sketchup model"

Please resolve this issue asap. Its a work of 2 weeks and need to deliver it at the earliest. I"m not being able to even open skb file.

Here’s the link to the model

The model you supplied is full of ‘NULL’ entries. It cannot be opened. It cannot be fixed.
This kind of issue happens when you work on models that are not on your computer - i.e. a network location or a ‘drop-box’ location.
Always copy your model onto your computer, do the work desired then save the changed model to the remote location. Don’t delete your local version until you are happy it’s transferred over…
Keeping it would be an insurance policy.
Even a minor network glitch during a SketchUp model-save directly onto a remote location will inevitably lose data - Copying SKP files is the robust way to do this…
Also don’t keep just one copy of your model - it’s a recipe for disaster. Have back up plans… save archived versions frequently so the disaster only affects a few hour’s work.
We can’t resolve this issue for you - we are only users like you. Even a SketchUp member dropping by will be unable to fix such a badly corrupted file.
I’m sorry, but without backups and a good saving/copying regime, you’ll probably need to do your 2 weeks work over again.
