I told you to be patient. You let your file get out of control and it’s very slow to work with.
I did my usual cleanup. I did not remove anything from the model that is being used. That said, there is a lot of incorrect tag usage in the model. Probably mostly due to import CAD linework but also clearly not all.
I also purged unused stuff from the model. You are hoarding a lot of components and materials that aren’t needed.
Of the materials that are being used there are some ridiculously huge texture images. Even for a model destined to be rendered there’s no need for texture images to be so large.
If you’re going to render this model you should fix the incorrect face orientation. You should fix that even if you aren’t going to render the model. There should be no visible blue back faces.
I have not removed the materials in the model. I just set the Face Style to Monochrome so you can see the faces that need correcting.
BTW, if you don’t need the import CAD linework anymore, delete it from the model and purge unused stuff. Or if you don’t need all of it, remove the geometry that isn’t needed to simplify your model. I would also suggest that you comb through the objects in the model to see what you can clean up and reduce.Things like this screen around the door could probably be done with a texture image and that would reduce the load.
Where are you storing the file? If you are opening it directly from cloud storage like Dropbox or a network drive, the error could result from a too slow connection, and you could try downloading it to your computer and trying from a local folder.
I’m uploading a 2020 version of the file. It’s almost 1.5 Gb though. Absolutely ridiculous file size for what it is. Even as a 2023/2022/2021 file it’s ridiculously large. Can I delete the CAD line work from the file so we can see if you can open it?
Edit: I canceled the upload of the 2020 version file. I would have to purchase more storage space to be able to upload it. I can’t justify that when I’m doing this as an unpaid volunteer.
I deleted the CAD linework and purged unused stuff again. It’s still a huge file but maybe you can open this one. I’ll add a link when it’s finished opening.
Try installing SketchUp 2023 and see if you can open it with that. Otherwise I will have to try deleting more content. I don’t have time to do that right now, though. I have paying work I need to do.
Hey DaveR. As I can see you have solved this problem: “Failed to open the document”. I am having the same problem. And it is a really important file for me. Please help me.
… you do realise how difficult it is for anyone to fix your file if you don’t provide it right ?
scroll up, you’ll see people provide their file as a dropbox link (or a drive, or a whatever other way to host the file)
