The place have you ever been saving the file?
The second half of the backup file can be zeros. I don’t know why Home windows would fill a file with zeros.
Nicely, I’m screwed… Many due to you to 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 try this.
The file was created in SketchUp 2023.0, For those who 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 lots on the corrupted file 
I really want to arrange an computerized backup.
I used to be simply questioning. Many of those corrupted recordsdata 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 drawback, a school uploaded the mannequin to the extension warehouse, I downloaded from the online and labored on it, I saved and closed the file, the following day I attempted to open it and a pop window stated that it’s not an skp file, I needed to do all the things once more, however this time I copied all the things within the mannequin from skp, open a brand new file, pasted it there and put it aside as a brand new doc.
Hey @colin I hope you’ll be able to assist me out with this identical challenge. I used to be utilizing my SketchUp 2023 when my laptop ran out of battery, subsequent time I logged in and tried to open the file it prompted the message: “This doesn’t seem 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 stuffed with zeros. For those who compress the file you will notice it comes right down to 65kb.
