        No problem at all. I go back and forth between SU2013 Pro on Mac and Windows and have had no problems opening files made on the other. I also frequently get models made by others on Windows machines and open them on my Mac with no issues.

          Just to be sure, did you save the files directly from SketchUp to a usb drive?

            Thanks for the help. the files were uploaded via dropbox and opened by the other collaborator on MAC.
            Here is another wrinkle. One of the files was made in sketchup 8 then opened in SU2013 and saved as a SU2013 file. The MAC user could not open either v8 or 2013 versions. Other PC collaborators could open my files from the dropbox or usb drive files.
            I hope this an isolated incident with just one user. I regularly team with PC and MAC users and never had cross platform issues with earlier sketchup versions.
            I had issues with the first release of 2013 not loading some SU plugins properly. The recent update fixed that with most plugins.
            No problems using SUv8 files linked to Layout 2013. Love Layout 2013!
