Corrupt file, any help would be great
-
Maybe it is something you imported to the file. Perhaps it is the 200Mb file size. It looks like it is timing out. My hunch is that you'd be better off going back to a previous version and starting over. The first thing I would do is purge any unused components, styles, and materials from the file and then save it again. Then move forward from there.

hi,
try this, a long-shot, open a new drawing, goto Window>>Hide Dialogs and hide all. try again with you 'big file'
the other thing that can interfere with loading file are plugins that try to catalog everything, so you could also turn off plugins and try as step 2.

Try this also: open a new empty sketchup file, and import the old file. Sometimes I recovered files doing this
-
I'm trying the options... Will get back to you with the results/progress...

I've never had problems with files larger than that.

I'll try that.

Have not used MAC for years but checking specs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook- could not find on Apple site .They discontinued this model July 2010 but sold to education thru FEb 2012: found Apple only supports 4gb memory and the specs only show an intergrated graphics so guessing you must have a special build. Plus the info dump shows a 386x 64 arch.
If you can start the MAC in some type of safe mode make sure the stand alone graphics is force use for SU:
Su runs as a 32 bit app see if there is some type of boot file where you can force use of all your memroy. On pc it would be use memory remapping and deselction of max memory use ( this keeps the OS from hogging all memory) for MAC ??).
It appears you are running out of system resources but you should be ok if it is all being used (I have open 340MB file on my 386 x32 with only 4GB ram but had to change syten memory so only 1 gb could be used by the OS ( Win xp in this case) which then left SU 3GB instead of normal 2 GB);
May be you should post model on file sharing site so some one can delete all textures etc so you can at least get the model open and then you have to make some mods to keep model size down. I wonder if redoing will help if the same thing happens again?
Just some thoughts for what ever they are worth:( -

it's a macbook pro.. not a macbook.. big difference
the computer is fine here.. SU is floundering.. (dare i bring up 32 bit ?

De-activate all components!... restart SU and open file..
I got my previously "corrupt" file(s) to work that way... (for now that is....
)Cheers and HNY!

I'm wondering that, too. How do you deactivate the components in a model?

He probably meant 'Plugins'
