                  It says ".skp Google SketchUp Model SketchUp Application"

                  I pulled the file into its job folder, and I think it overwrote the .skp as a .layout I cant get it back to a .skp now?

                    If you rename the .layout to .skp does it open?

                        I fortunately found a model that I had saved on a thumbdrive that isnt much older than my most current file that got changed. So I am working on updated that one. Still strange!

                          What's happens if you delete the extension for that file and try and open it?

                            It opens in Layout? Its the strangest thing? I have to be really careful where and how I save I guess? I got lucky that there was a few day old model that I could go back to... but if I didnt have that... i would be in trouble!

                              If it opens in layout continue.. double click the image in layout, it will open in su for editing. as example 34524787.skp what ever
                              save it as any othername.skp you like in the right folder give that a go πŸŽ‰
