Hello ! I was working on a project and was rendering the exterior using Enscape. While rendering, my computer crashed and after restarting the file became corrupted !
2 images had rendered, which i sent to the client, and they finalized that design. But now i do not have the file.
I tried opening the file on different computer, web, mobile and mac. No luck.
Please help!!

The .skp file contains nothing but zeroes. The .skb file is missing a large chunk of data.
Since you have a Pro subscription, were you by any chance taking advantage of Trimble Connect to save a backup copy of the file?
Did you look for the SKB backup and / or the auto save?
Thankyou for the reply. No, i did not use trimble connect, and I am regretting now.
Seems like there is no other way than to work on it all over again. 
Thankyou for the reply.
Yes, I looked for skb backup, and it is also corrupted.
Are you saving to a cloud service?
Many users end up with corrupted files when saving their working file to cloud services. I only save locally and then place copies in the cloud location.
I make it a habit to Save As… every now and then and leave a trail of previous version. It saved me a lot of work once when I had this happen.
Here’s what a sample project directory looks like.
I used to do that, but it was sometimes a bit messy with layout.
I tend to do it the opposite way : I’ll manually duplicate the SU file (and rename its copy as an archive). that way, I technically work on the same initial file all the time
but really, it’s just breaking the egg from the little end or the big end. the end result is the same, a broken egg. and a secure project.
Save a Copy makes this work well with LO…
If you use Google Drive for Desktop to sync your local drive / folder / files, it will keep versions of your files that you can download.
I was going to say, for Mac users, Time Machine backups save versions of each backup going back in time, but didn’t know any equivalent on Windows, so thanks for that.
Then, sure enough, this morning, I found the last thing I did last night lost some work within a model - not a corrupted model, just my mistake. I lucked out and found a Time Machine backup that still had it, copied it out and past-in-place brought it back. Whew!
True enough. I guess Relink isn’t that much worse than Update, so I haven’t been driven to change my habit. One reason I started working that was is when SU crashes, I often open the unsaved backup that’s offered and then immediately Save it as a new version so as to leave the last saved version untouched in place so as to have both options.
Windows itself has a history/previous versions feature, that I think is on the lines of Time Machine. I haven’t yet had a case where a Windows user with a damaged file had that feature turned on. Quite a few times I’ve had to dip into Time Machine to get something back.
