Can somebody help me with this problem, i was busy doing section of my building on a whole different tag and group while disabling the visibility of couple of tags (which where my gone models were in). after i finish doing my section, apparently once i turned on the visibility of all the tags, some models are not appearing at all.
is there any way to fix this, maybe there is any way to look back at previous version of your file or maybe there’s simply an answer for this specific issue; i already tried to check through my .skb file and unfortunately i was too late to recognize it being gone before overlapped with the recent auto save.
Were you saving copies of your model file to Trimble Connect? If so, you could go back to a previous version of the file.
It’s hard to understand what you’ve described. Is it possible that the objects are still in the model? If they aren’t actually in the model space, you might be able to bring in copies of the objects if they are components.
Sharing the .skp file would help us to help you.
unfortunately, i’ve checked my trimble and i never really save any copies of my works. i’m not sure whether the objects are still in the group/tag, because once i tried turn it (tags) on/off nothing seems to change. the missing objects are not component but more like a bunch of elements gathered into one group and then tag
my struggle probably best described just like this thread:
Model Suddenly Disappeared - SketchUp / Pro - SketchUp Community
but i can’t seem to understand the solution of it
i also prepared the files but it’s pretty big, the description of which tags contain group of objects went missing is in there as well
The file you shared is not a SketchUp model file anymore. It’s missing the header information and about a third of its data.
If that’s your file then tags being turned on or off doesn’t matter.
That’s too bad. You do have a current subscription for SketchUp, right? Unlimited storage on Trimble Connect is included with your subscription. You ought to be using it. Every time you save your model to Trimble Connect it’s an incremental save so there will be versions you can go back to.
i can’t seem to understand this part, does the file basically threatened to be corrupted or something? do you mind explaining, sorry
In a hex editor a viable SketchUp model has a header at the beginning of the file which clearly shows it is a SketchUp file and includes the version number. Here is a screenshot of a model I made the other day opened in the same hex editor.
The file you shared isn’t threatening to be corrupted. It IS corrupted. There’s nothinig useful left in the file you shared. If that’s all you have, it’s time to start over.
Where have you been saving the file while working on it? Did you try to use some sort of file recovery app on it? Are you using a cr acked version of SketchUp?
i’m a thriving student so currently i have been using the cr acked version of skp, but if it’s the reason of why it is corrupted i think i will be just fine with the situation going on with my file since it’s been like this for ever (except for the issue). but thank you for your enlightenment. regardless it’s still pretty much confusing for me how this exact issue is happening alot and it’s not only new personal issue whatsoever
Using an illegal version of SketchUp is definitely not a smart thing to do. You kind of deserve what you get.
You could get an inexpensive EDU license and then be using SketchUp legally.
i think i don’t truly have to explain why exactly i decided to illegaly use a software, for it being personal, but it’s kind of not it to aim the issue towards something out of the main context, could’ve simply be professional and stop at the first sentence but sure you’re good at your job and i simply in the wrong space. thanks
From this statement, I assume that you are mixing up the concepts of backup and auto-save.
Just to clarify:
_
If Create Backup is enabled in a settings, SketchUp automatically creates a backup file of the previous saved version of a model anytime you create a new save. So if you if you save your file, then save it again without making any changes on it the skp and skb files will be te same (only its extension in the name will differ).
Backup files ( .skb file) will be in the same location as the .skp file.
_
Auto-save does NOT automatically save to the same file you opened, and is no substitute for saving often… or making backup to different location.
However, if Auto-save is enabled in a settings, in a given interval (default to 5 minutes), SketchUp will save all changes to your model in a temporary file (NOT to same location as your original .skp). These temporary files will persist only after crashes and will appear as Recovered in the Welcome window. BUT, SketchUp deletes temporary files when you manually exit SketchUp.
[ The location of this automatically saved file(s) on Windows is - this location hidden by default in File Explorer: c:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\SketchUp\SketchUp 20xx\SketchUp\working\SKETCHUP\RecoveredFiles\ ) ]
@arethazyan has some balls to use crackhead and pie-rated software and then come to the developer’s own forum and ask for help with their messed up file.
Also, if you are thriving, then it really should not be a big deal to grab a student copy! or you could use the free version.
Regardless, this forum and all the other services that are offered to SketchUp users are paid for by the subscription fees from our users. Coming here and seeking help when you are already stealing our software is not the best way to get help. Purchase a student license, get legal, and I am sure you will find more help than you ever expected.
