Ok. Thank you for your help anyways! At least this reminded me to turn on my backups, I had them off due to low storage… (I know, stupid mistake.)
By the way, help is not needed any longer. I just re-did my work. It’s a bummer that it just had that error though. Thank you so much for the help anyway, @DaveR!
Good enough.
Make sure you are saving your file on an internal drive as you are working on it.
Might be a good idea to upgrade to the current version of SketchUp, too.
Hi Colin
Can you please say your approach for fixing this error please ? my file is in the folder, is it possible for you to check it? thank you

In this case I didn’t need to do anything. You’re using SketchUp 2023.0, and in 2023.1 we added something that is able to detect if a group is corrupt, which in your model is the case. That group has been removed, hopefully it wasn’t an important one!
Here’s the file as a 2023.1 version file:
You could update to 2023.1, or even 2024, here:
Hi! Can anyone help me restore the Skp 2021 file? Unexpected file format. Very important file for me.

won’t open in 24, after a quick look at the file, there appears to be a big piece of zeroes in the middle.
maybe @colin can salvage some elements
do you have the skb backup file ?
I could only recover components and materials. The scene will be empty:
Basen1_recovered.skp (11.0 MB)
Thanks!
Does anyone have a list of plug ins I could use to clean up my model or does anyone offer any tutoring on organizing file and layers so my file doesn’t crash?
Hi @colin, Can you please help me fix the files. I was working on my assignment when the SketchUp closed and i when i tried opening the file it was showing unexpected format file error and bugsplat.

Where were you saving the file as you were working on it? Your profile says you are using Free Plan of SketchUp 2023. Does that mean you are using a cracked version of SketchUp?
The file has problems that SketchUp 2023.1 or later can handle. Sign in to your account, and download a new copy of 2023 or 2024 from this page:
hi @colin Can you please help me fix the files, help me restore the Skp 2023
Don’t double post. I responded to your post in the other thread.
Colin I kindly request you to retrieve my skp file as it showing unexpected file format, I tried skb file as well. But all are showing the same.
