How to recover SU8 file

mirceastef

Hello!
I was working all day on a file before I made (probably)a mistake using some wrong parameters of the FUR plugins/crowd place setting.
The problem is that the file did not crash, it just takes hours to open, and when is finished I have just a white area on the screen. Trying to "zoom all" starts the processor to work, and work, but nothing happend except a lot of warm air. Unfortunately the skb file is quite old and a lot of work seems lost. I was wondering if, by chance someone had an ideea of how can I recover my work.
I try to save it as SU vers6, I try to import ... but with no luck.

SU8, WIN7 64,
HP Compaq 8710w,4,00 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3600M

this has happened to me before...

options.

try importing the file into a new sketchup file via the import menu.
try opening the file before bed and giving it some 8 hours to attempt to open... making sure not to use any other software and don't let the screensaver interrupt.
try importing the file into another program such as 3DsimEdit or 3Dmax some of these have sketchup file import and some are plugins that allow it. then export it again back to sketchup.
rebuild the whole model from scratch and employ the make backup option as well as autosave.

you might try sending the file to someone else and see if they can open it, "fix problems" and "purge" for you.
