Okay I imagine I have no idea how Trimble Join is meant to work. Labored on Sketchup file on iPad and printed to TC. Opened on Mac and labored for entire day saving periodically. Sketchup had a BugSplat and all the work executed since being printed from iPad is misplaced. Is there not any backup file saved domestically throughout guide or autosave. I’ve tried to discover a backup file however no luck to date. It appears inconceivable that saving many occasions doesn’t replace a file on the native machine no less than. After studying many TC matters it’s obvious that I need to publish to TC, not save. However isn’t there one thing monitoring modifications on the native machine? Would admire any assist in recovering one thing.
Whenever you open a file from TC the file is first downloaded into a brief folder. Saves and auto saves are made to that momentary folder. Take a look at this for your self by downloading a file after which use File>Save as… to see the place it goes.
It could be that the momentary folder with the file you had been engaged on continues to be current in your pc. You might seek for it with Finder. It could be there’s a recovered model of the file, too. Open SketchUp and scroll down by the current information within the Welcome display to see whether it is there.
Thanks DaveR, I did seek for file title on total mac system however there was nothing with that title. So then I looked for any .SKP or ~.SKP and simply ~ and there have been no matches.
As I wrote, the file will get downloaded right into a momentary folder. It’s simply that: momentary. Your working system will, sooner or later, delete the file or presumably the folder.
Once I work on a file I’m opening from TC the very first thing I do is use Save as… to avoid wasting a replica of the file to a non-temporary listing. Often a folder I’ve for the shopper or particular mission. After that saves and autosaves go there and once I end engaged on the mission for the second, I publish it to TC. Then I’ve two copies of the file. One on my pc and one in my TC storage and the OS can delete the momentary information if it needs.
It appears I used to be uneducated in regards to the correct file workflow of Trimble Join. I didn’t “save as” however as an alternative did simply “Save” my modifications as a result of I used to be underneath the expectation that Sketchup created an area file when working from TC. Apparently, Sketchup will open a TC file and permit one to edit it and execute saves that magically go nowhere, neither saves to native file nor to TC. An unlucky studying expertise. Software program ought to shield towards this, both inhibit “Save” (greyed out on menu) for a file opened from TC or create an area file that may “Revealed” again to TC when modifying is full.
