Unexpected File Format problems

Hi Colin,

I am unable to believe this as yet. Am now downloading the file on my laptop. Will soon let you know when it does open here. Thanks a ton :)))

You should take note of the file size difference Colin reports after purging. That’s more than a 75% reduction. It sounds like your model is seriously bloated with unneeded stuff. You should be purging your files often.

PLEASE make a copy before you do anything else, then Purge and make another!

I’ve now purged the file and the file size has reduced from 1.8 GB to 4.5 MB.
Would always keep this in mind.

Thanks everyone for helping me out.

More than 99% reduction. :+1:

The file is 189MB in size and i am using sketchup pro 2020. Please somebody help the file is important and i dont know how to fix it.

Please don’t double post. That just creates confusion. Colin will see your other post and try to recover your file as soon as he can.

Can you help me recover my file? I worked on the file last night and now it’s saying “unexpected error occurred.” I am using this forum for the first time. My submission is due tomorrow. sketchup thumnail shows my model but there is no file

He can help only if you share your demaged file:
-upload it to your forum post.:.image
(or drag and drop )

or - if it is too big - share a link to your file stored on a cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, Onedrive, We transfer etc…)

I will take a look when you have uploaded a file somewhere, as dezmo suggested.

Never mind, I found your other post, and will reply there.
