The place have you ever been saving the file?
The second half of the backup file can also be zeros. I don’t know why Home windows would fill a file with zeros.
Nicely, I’m screwed… Many due to you in your assist anyway, @colin . So, mainly, you’re telling me that Home windows could be accountable of the degradation of this file ?
I don’t know what precipitated the file to get zeros. I haven’t heard of a case the place SketchUp would do this.
The file was created in SketchUp 2023.0, Should you haven’t already bought the 2023.0.1 replace, you’ll be able to obtain it right here:
I’ve the 23.0.397 64 bits model.
That’s good, I suppose you began the file earlier than the replace was launched.
Is your desktop synced to the cloud?
@Anssi not on the cloud, however on a private Synology NAS. My newest backup was made 3 weeks in the past. Since then, I’ve labored quite a bit on the corrupted file 
I really want to arrange an computerized backup.
I used to be simply questioning. Many of those corrupted information appear to be the results of writing or backing as much as the cloud, maybe as a result of different software program is accessing the file concurrently with SketchUp?
Thanks for the recommendation and checking my file!
I had this downside, a university uploaded the mannequin to the extension warehouse, I downloaded from the net and labored on it, I saved and closed the file, the subsequent day I attempted to open it and a pop window mentioned that it’s not an skp file, I needed to do every thing once more, however this time I copied every thing within the mannequin from skp, open a brand new file, pasted it there and put it aside as a brand new doc.
Good day @colin I hope you’ll be able to assist me out with this identical difficulty. I used to be utilizing my SketchUp 2023 when my pc ran out of battery, subsequent time I logged in and tried to open the file it prompted the message: “This doesn’t look like a SketchUp mannequin!”. I can’t open the skb file both for some cause, I had labored every week on this mannequin and have misplaced all my work.
The file is totally full of zeros. Should you compress the file you will notice it comes right down to 65kb.

Some elements of that file seems prefer it got here from a SketchUp doc, however most of it’s random knowledge or full of zeros. I couldn’t recuperate something from it.
For the SKB, these don’t usually open, however could do for those who rename the file to be .skp as an alternative of .skb. You would add that as properly, in case I’ve higher luck with it.
I ponder how Home windows manages to reopen functions with their paperwork, if the ability went off instantly. If there was sufficient time the contents of reminiscence may very well be saved, then reloaded on begin up.
I’ll attempt to discover a technique to take a look at how properly paperwork survive when the ability is reduce off immediately.
