**What release version of the API is reading the files ?**

**What version of the API or SketchUp wrote the files ?**

[Show a code snippet](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/topic/46189/1) of how you define these API model objects.

FYI … if available [`SUModelCreateFromFileWithStatus`](https://extensions.sketchup.com/developers/sketchup_c_api/sketchup/struct_s_u_model_ref.html#a26cf9c22213fcafe39b5b58844fbe33b) is preferred over [`SUModelCreateFromFile`](https://extensions.sketchup.com/developers/sketchup_c_api/sketchup/struct_s_u_model_ref.html#a14bb6ffbe9b163ca238d249faeb3debb).
