      Hello all, I'm new to SketchcUcation. I'm having a problem with a Sketchup Version 8 file & backup file that I've got alot of time into, and now cannot access. Here's the scoop:

      I saved the file on my laptop.
      Returned the next day to access the file and continue working on it. Upon attempting to open the file I received an "Unexpected File Format" error message.
      I began to research solutions. I tried renaming the .skb and opening,and also finding an application called 'beinsync' that others claimed caused a similar malfunction.
      NO LUCK.
      Does anyone have any ideas!!?!?! Any help is appreciated.

      Corrupt File is attached.

      Nate


      Problem File.

        Corrupt for me, too. I also tried to import it (by dragging it into a new SU window) and got a BugSplat. Filing it I referred to your post - hopefully someone from Google will look at the file.

        How much work have you wasted? Hope it was not your PhD thesis!

          Hard to say, but probably around 20-30 hours.

            That's bad, I am sorry. Hopefully it will be recovered...
