I recently downloaded the above programme for some or other reason related to converting a DWG file. Since then this programme has switched my SU programmes to their logo which is more than irritating. I have uninstalled it on my computer but still my files have their logo. Someone sent me a SU file to work open and I can’t seem to import it as it has been changed to this file format and won’t import into SU. How on earth can I get my happy recognisable files back?
hello,
right click on the .skp file you received (or any other) and pick properties.
in the “open with” line pick modify and select sketchup in the list. If it’s not there go locate sketchup.exe (default location C > programs > Sketchup > sketchup 2024 > SketchUp.exe)
All this can also be done in windows 11 apps settings. You can set the default app for each file type
You can also repair / reinstall sketchup
HI Paul
Thank you for your answer. I am in the process of moving from 1 computer to another the old one has windows 10 where this is sitting. All I can see on properties is that it identifies as a SKP file but no further dialogue after that. A few tick boxes below which are unticked. File sent by We Transfer
I see,
what if you pick “open with” instead of properties after right clicking ? and select sketchup in the list or locate it if it is not there
that one works, I’ve had the problem with layout a few years ago.
simply re-download the installer, right click / run ad administrator, then choose repair. and restart your computer (doesn’t hurt)
