I noticed recently on my computer that all my saved sketchup files have 2 saved files (1 Sketchup 2024 File and 1 SKB File). I never saved them as separate files previously and only had the Sketchup 2024 for each file. Why is there a SKB version for each showing up now?
The .skb file is automatically generated by SketchUp as a backup in case something happens to make the .skp file unusable. The .skp file is the normal working file. Leave the .skb file alone in case something happens to the working file.
SketchUp has always made the .skb file on Windows unless you’ve turned off SketchUp’s abilities to create backups… This isn’t a new thing that just started happening for you.
Is there a reason why it wasn’t shown previously and now is shown?
Maybe you just weren’t looking for them? Or maybe you had backups disabled and re-enabled them.
