The SketchUp file is not properly constructed. There’s missing file data at the beginning of the file. I don’t know why that happened and I have no idea how you’ve been handling the files.
Again, while you wait for Colin to be able to look at your model, you should get busy rebuilding it in case he can’t recover it.
Hi, I have the same problem, I was working on the file last night. When I came to open it this evening, SketchUp says it isn’t a model. I have a previous version saved but I’ve lost a day worth of work if it is corrupted. Any suggestions? 23-06-118-01w.skp (575.9 KB)
I was, in fact the previous version I have is from about a week ago so there have been several saves whilst I was progressing it up until last night. I’ve tried copying the .skb file and renaming it to a .skp version but that doesn’t have any effect.
That’s cause #1 to get corrupted files, you should work with files storaged in your local storage device all the time, if you work with files storaged in external devices or the cloud there can be problems while the file is being saved and it will damage your file sometimes without solution.
I looked at your .skb file. Unfortunately it has the same issue.
As @francisquitof wrote you should work with files saved on your internaldrive. If you need to make them portable copy them to an external drive. Or better, publish them to your Trimble Connect storage, You have unlimited storage included with your subscription. Then you can access the files from another computer. Publishing your files to Trimble Connect also generates incremental versions and, if you want to let your clients or someone else look at your models, you can send them a link to view them in the online viewer.
