@colin please if you can help me

I’m on a train to London, it has 2 mbps WiFi! Getting the file slowly now. I may not be able to do much with the file until I’m back in Colorado tonight.

I tried a few times on the train, didn’t succeed in getting the file. Will try again in a couple of hours, when I’m at the airport.

is it the link? if so, let me share another link to the gdrive

The file mostly downloaded while I was on the train, but failed before the end. I have the file now, and it’s filled with zeros. Do you have the SKB file?

Yes i have the SKB file, here the SKB

Hi Colin, are you able to download the SKB file?

I tried the SKB, it’s in better condition than the SKP, but it appears to be missing the end of the file. I can’t recover anything from it.

@colin Hi Colin, I’m having the same issue. I saved my fail a few hours ago, but when I reopen it, it just can’t be open anymore. All my work is in there. Can you see if you can help me pls. Thank you so much!

Can you help me fix the error: failed to open document on sketchup 2023, please help!! ZONE 1.skp - Google Drive

file is completely empty.

you see the bar on the right ? the small top part has data.
the massive bottom part is filled with zeroes.

any chance you have a skb somewhere ?
also, I see you’re using a “free version” of sketchup, the file even tells me it’s 23, not the more recent 23.1
you can’t be using a cracked version and expect your file not to break at some point.

That’s my mistake, if there is any way please help me, I can’t find skb anywhere on my computer.

Can you help me check this file, thank you very much, I really need it :frowning: ZONE 2.skp - Google Drive

That file has the same problem as the first. They are exactly the same size. What did you do? Just rename the first file?

I found it and it seems to be the original file before the computer was turned off. I changed the name to avoid uploading it to the drive with the same name.

It has the same corruption.
