Okay, it looks like it’s impossible to save :sob: :sob: :sob:, but thank you for your efforts!

The file is a lot smaller, so there may have been a lot of loose geometry in the scene, or perhaps grouped. Any components should be in the recovered file.

There seems to be nothing in the recovered file :sob:

There is nothing in the scene, but look in the Components and Materials trays.

hello my skp file also has the same issue it says unexpected file format, is it possible to recover it??

No one has a chance to tell you how likely it is to recover your file until you share that particular file.

Sorry here is the skp file link thank you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1POYepTDack6BBBFcJHNM5WHqcTEiO9S7/view?usp=sharing

I see the file is created in Sketchup 23.0.397. Since there are an updates for that main version, as well as newer versions… I assuming you are using a cr_acked Sketchup software. If it is the case please obtain a legal version and you will be able to open your file also.

I was able to open it in SU2026 which automatically repaired it.

Can you upload the repaired file? are u able to save in lower version so i can try to open again? or i need to update my sketchup to latest version?

Are you using c r a c k e d version of Sketchup 2023?

(By the way, since Sketchup 2021, Sketchup can open newer versions of Sketchup files. And since 2024 - officially - you can’t save to an older version.)

no but i will download the latest version if it needs to open it

can you upload the repaired file?

Well, the file can be opened also a in a legal version of the latest SU2023 (Build 23.1.340. )
The fact you still using Build 23.0.397 and you don’t want to update, for me means it was not obtained from a legal source.

Go to your Sketchup, open Menu>>Help>>Welcome to Sketchup.., and navigate to Licensing tab (lover left corner).
