Thankyou all, I already solve my problem
The .skp file contains nothing but zeroes.
The .skb file is at least half-filled with zeroes. Nothing to recover in either file.
Where have you been saving the model file while working on it.
Your profile says you have a “Classic” license for SketchUp 2023. Does that mean you are actually using a cr acked version of SketchUp? What operating system and graphics card are you using?
I don’t think Colin will be able to do anything with your files since they are just zeroes.
Please answer my questions. Maybe we can help you prevent this from happening again.
I agree with DaveR, that the files are not recoverable.
However I was able to recognize from the .skb file, that is created a version of 23.1.315, which is not on the list of the official versions. So I’m 99,9% sure that you have a cr acked SketchUp.
This fact is alone can cause the file corruption.
Please go and buy a licence, then you can have a better chance to not lose your work. Until then, I don’t think anyone here will be “happy” to help you.

It’s a shame that you chose to use a stolen license for work that you needed to complete for a deadline. Perhaps this result is deserved.
Purchase a legitimate subscription and get SketchUp 2025. As you are redoing the project save it on an internal drive on your computer (not on a USB drive) and also save it to Trimble Connect so you have an additional backup copy.
