This does not appear to be a Sketchup model! Please help me recover my file

Hello, I have a sketchup file (version 2024), file is not opening and giving error. I’ve already tried to change the skb to skp file, yet still not opening. Can anyone help me please to recover it?

What version of SketchUp license? There is no Classic license for SketchUp 2024 unless it’s a cr acked version. What operating system? “SketchUp 2024” is not an operating system. What graphics card? " 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor" is not a graphics card.

Where have you been saving the file as you were working on it? The original .skp file contains nothing but zeroes and the .skb file is missing a large chunk of data at the end and is not recoverable.

Thank you for the reply Dave, looks like i’ve been using a cracked version, and we’ve been saving our work with one server, i’m sorry for the misinformation.

So that’s piracy and theft. First thing, then, is to get that straightened out. You need to get legitimate subscriptions for SketchUp.

After you have the subscription you can save your files to Trimble Connect as well as on the internal drive on your computer. You should always work on files that are locally saved, not saved to a server or the cloud.
