      basically sketchup crashed while i was working on a model
      it was saved correctly minutes before sketchup crashed
      after reinstalling sketchup
      everything worked again, every model but that one
      it the backup (skb) file of said model was empty and the model itself not, is still the same size as before the program crashed and even has the thumbnail, but when i try to open, it just doesnt
      just appears a message saying: failed to open document
      i just cant just do the model again,ive been working on it almost for 4 months
      i need to recover it
      by the way the models is less than 1.7mb, but was really difficult to make and was almost complete

        Can you share the file? If not publicly via PM?

              I am afraid I can't open it on my Mac - crashes SU. I can see a thumbnail with a number of objects in it.

                It's almost there. If you try to import it rather than open it, you get the thumbnail and even all the materials in the browser...it just can't handle the geometry. Google might be able to fix it if it's really important.

                Have you tried looking for and opening any autosave skp? It's usually located in the same folder as your work file.

                    Actually, you didn't. You said the skb was empty. That's not the same thing at all....that's why i asked.

                      then no, just the skb and the broken skp,
                      and deleted the skb since it was empty

                          In a PC:
                          right click the file -> Properties -> Previous Versions TAB

                          If you moved or copied the file, it won't work
