yeah, I got it. You saved me. Manythanks.
Wouldn’t hurt to fix incorrect tag usage…
…and purge unused stuff from the file.
Purging reduced the file size by more than 25%.
Putting the entourage on a diet would also help with your computer’s performance.
Hello, please I tried everything but I can’t open my file. It happened when I saved a copy of it with another name, just a new version so I don’t lose all the work, please if you can help me.https://we.tl/t-7bcQuAeZbK
Can someone help me? I’m not able to open this file, it looks like it got corrupted, but I saved it correctly, all my work is there. Please if anyone can open the file or know what I can do to try to recover it
- I already renamed
- Updated the program
-tried to open from backuphttps://we.tl/t-IPeyFeLQwr
Download a previous version of SketchUp,
Go to the extension warehouse,
Install the extension Eneroth Open newer version,
Then re launch the same SketchUp which is the previous version you just downloaded,
Go to files, you’ll see the option “open newer version”,
During this process it will ask you to save the file again, do just that,
It might take a while to load,
That’s all about it.
If it doesn’t work the first time,
Exit SketchUp and re open the file, remember you have saved it already. It will come out the second time.
Do have a wonderful time working on your file.
If you found this helpful kindly help subscribe to my YouTube channel where I do architectural interior visualizations.

You can upload the file somewhere for me to try.
Hey, a very important file is giving the same problem, and I’ve tried to open it on 3 different computers, but it’s giving the same error, could you help me?
as it is big, I will send the link to be able to access it.
Holey buckets! 1.3 Gb.
I’ll see what happens.
I did get it to open. It’s no wonder it’s slow.
Lots of incorrect tag usage. ALL edges and faces should be untagged.
Plenty of unused stuff to purge.
Still working on it.
Purging the unused stuff file reduced the file size by 82%. It’s still a huge file due to some bloated groups and components but I expect your computer will be able to open the file. There are also quite a number of excessively huge texture files. There’s no benefit to using texture images that are 20,000 pixels wide. You really should take some time to go through the heavy components and textures in your model and slim them down.
Here’s the link to the reduced file.
Hello,
It worked, thank you so much.
Hey, my file is giving the same problem, could you help me?

Saved as a 2019 file since yours was made in SU2019. Reduced by 32%. Still a huge file that needs to go on a diet.
2019 version:
2022/2021 version which is reduced by 61%:
This one has the huge textures reduced to something more reasonable. 80% file size reduction.
It would be a good idea to learn how to keep your models lean and clean so you avoid these kinds of issues.
Hi Colin, I have the exact same problem. Could you or any developers take a look at my file as well? Thank you so much.
here is link to my post / model
Hello,
What plugin do you use to lean and clean the files, without lose render configuration?
On yours I used Default Layer Geometry and Purge All from Sketchucation.
There are others that can help. CleanUp3 is one. Material Resizer is another. There are also extensions like Skimp that can help to lighten up obese components. Best practice, though, is to keep your models clean and lean as you go so you don’t have to clean up later.
