Title:
SketchUp 2025 freezes with “Not Responding” when opening both .skp and .skb files
Message:
Hello,
I really need help recovering an important university project.
The model was originally created in SketchUp 2023. Later I opened it in SketchUp Pro 2025 (25.0.660) and saved it.
A few hours later, both the .skp file and its .skb backup stopped opening.
Symptoms:
- SketchUp starts loading the file.
- The window becomes white.
- Windows shows “Not Responding”.
- It never finishes opening.
Things I’ve already tried:
- Opening on a clean SketchUp installation.
- Renaming the .skb to .skp.
- Resetting SketchUp preferences.
- New SketchUp files open normally.
- No AutoSave or Previous Versions are available.
The model mainly contains geometry and components downloaded from 3D Warehouse. I did not use V-Ray, Enscape, or other plugins.
Both the .skp and .skb files are attached.
Is there any way to recover the model or identify the corrupted entity?
Thank you very much.
