Hi All,
first time on the site. I have a problem with a file that is saying it is not a sketchup model. Have read previous posts, however, when carrying out the advice it doesn’t seem to fix the problem. The file content is 1,244KB so it is saying there is information in the file. I do have a *.skb file and have tried renaming but the same message appears when trying to load.
Is there somewhere I could upload this file/s for someone to review, investigate or attempt to open and tell me that the file has gone completely or that it can be opened and retrieved for me.
It seems to be relative to one directory only.
Thank you in advance
That is small enough that you could add it in a reply, but that may need to wait until you have done a few posts before you see the attachment icon.
Or you can send it via dropbox, google drive, wetransfer.com, etc.
Hi Colin, I have read your posts and hope that you can help me out. Please nominate an email or similar that I can send this to please. The wetransfer is asking for an email, not certain with dropbox, however, if you direct me on how to do this that would be great
Hi Colin,

It doesn’t appear to be any file type, let alone a SketchUp one. Do you have any encryption settings in your system, that might have encoded the file in some way?
No Mate,
this was working and I think I deleted this file from my usb and our IT guy tried to retrieve it. That was 3 years ago so I might just have to go back to site if there is no information there. It may be easier if you can’t read anything. Funny though it was just two files. What about the *.skb file I have attached, anything here?

I find out what version of SketchUp was used to make the file by using a hex editor. Here is how your file starts on the left, and a regular SketchUp 2021 file on the right.
Your files are random data, and not at all like a SketchUp file.
Thank you Colin for your efforts.
I will just have to return to site and remeasure. All good cheers mate
