I have a high school student who is really upset her file suddenly said “failed to open”.
Can anyone help me recover this? Oddly there is no SKB file.

@colin you’ve saved me before in similar situations, maybe I’ll get lucky again. I know the issue is that our IT set up at this school has all PCs locked out with Deepfreeze software forcing my students to save files to USB drives. We rarely run into issues but when we do its not fun for the student.
I looked at the file but I can’t do anything with it either. It appears to be missing some data. Maybe Colin can do something with it, though.
Looks like you are using SketchUp 2024, though. Maybe you could update your forum profile while we wait to see if Colin’s magic hammer can help.
I tried my usual ideas, but didn’t get a working file. Most parts in the file have header issues. Don’t know what caused that.
I suggest teaching your students to do manual incremental SaveCopyAs. I.e., defensive saving.
Oh I do Dan, but such is the life of a teacher.
