Failed Save + Unexpected File Format
-
Try the PM now (I changed the attachment settings). It would be better if you attached it to your post though (if you are allowed to or something) because then the SU Team could investigate it, too.

I have almost the same problem Paul J. had except my file goes directly to the bug splat screen. It is a large 7.8Mb interior with quite a few custom millwork pieces for a bank. I had saved most of the millwork pieces, but the interior build out was quite a bit of work
and my last saved version opens, but is too preliminary. The .skp and .skb are both corrupt. No apparent reason why. No other file problems with comparable models or other work done on the same machine at the same time. This is a first time for me (since 2002) where I have lost both the skippy and the backup.I tried the load file into a new drawing trick but it didn't work either.
I will be sending up a flare to Craig in Colorado but would appreciate a second or third..++ opinion.
Paul - did your problem get resolved???
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,
Sorry to hear about your model. I'll send you a private message regardimg how to send the model directly to us. We'll take a look and see if we can help out.
Best,
Tricia

Just to follow up on the "corruption" Tricia got back to me right away and she was able to save components from the file, which will help in the model re-construction. Unfortunately as a WIP I had not been dilligent enough in creating components of my bank millwork as each piece was completed. Just another life lesson I guess.
They are still looking at the file - haven't found out what may have happened as yet.
Anyway, I just wanted to express a public "thank you" to the technical support staff.

I Had a similar problem, but with my problem I was able to save, and when I went to load it I got the, "Unexpected File Format" message, and it wouldn't open, and I have a lot done on it. It's huge, both in data, (20.2MB) and how much work I've put into it. Any help please?

Can anyone please help...
I have tried opening a sketchup file and get the message 'unexpected file format'..............Also tried copying the .skb file, renaming it and changing the file extension but get the same message.
Please help............

I got this trying to save a file while rendering and the render was updating.
I narrowed it down to this when it happened a couple of times.
Probably not your problem but I think it has something to do a memory conflict.
My case it saved after render updated.
Never happened before and can't make it happen again. -
Can anyone help me recover a corrupt sketchup file as I have done a lot of work on this model
Thanks
