      Hi,

      I was working yesterday with a file, and it was constantly giving me problems, something to do with component names, i believe, because it would beachball if i opened the file with the component browser expanded, but would open ok when it was closed. I don't have a backup of the file (I know....), and need to recover it. Can any of you help me by trying to open the file, and if it opens, resaving it as something else.

      Thanks a lot

      S


      I had to zip it for size...

        ok. my component window freezes too if I try to show all the used comps.

        I therefore copied the stage's content into a new SketchUp file. I am afraid, I lost some unused components, some textures and layers.

        but you can open it now without problems... šŸ˜‰

            Just some comments.

            The file has over 1200 component definitions, so the beachballing is probably due to SU trying to make a thumbnail of them all. Is this an import from some BIM application? It seems to me that every single little part of your model is an unique component. Do you need it so? IMO most of them could be safely exploded, and the model purged afterwards. Most often components are useful only to make repeating parts.

              Yes, it“s an exported dwg from archicad. I just don“t know how to export items exploded.
