Unexpected file format - can not fix!

[lstainton]

Hi,

I’ve come across an issue (which I believe to not be uncommon) where my sketchup file won’t open and has the message “Unexpected file format”. I have tried altering the backup file .skb to a new name and .skp file but that hasn’t worked. I’m not sure what else to try.

This is the file Dropbox - Base model.skp - Simplify your life if anyone can have a go at recovering it. My deadline is next week so I desperately need this file back.

(Hopefully the link works)

I was able to open your file without any issues. (Beside it is relatively big, therefore it takes a minute or so…)

I purged it and saved:

Base model_purged.skp

You’re the best, thank you so much!
