Thanks TIG, I'll give it a go. Worst case scenario, redraw!

thanks

There isn't one for this file. I may have been inadvertently deleted!

when it's zipped it's about 24MB. I have tried opening it on 3 separate computers, from the memory stick and from the network. Still the same problem. The original is corrupt .

I can't do the email thing as the file is too large for my account or the free version of YouSendIt. Any more ideas?

Regards

Hi, sorry the file is too big to attach, it's 31MB to I don't think zipping it will get it down to the 4MB max allowable.

No, no backup up unfortunately. I will try the email trick and see if that helps.

thanks

Hi, I am desperate to try and recover a Sketchup file which will not open. I was working on it this morning, transferred it to my boss's computer via memory stick and now it will not open.

The error message is unexpected file format. I have tried copying it and renaming it. I have tried to import it into Sketchup rather than open it which results in an error message telling me that the file contains an unexpected object.

Stupid school girl error not to keep a back up copy. Any help or suggestions would be hugely appreciated as the file constitues a whole day of work.

I have attached the file.

Many thanks

Julie

Gai,knew I could rely on you..... thanks a lot

Hi folks, I've just bought the upgrade for Sketchup 8 and all has been going well up till the point I try to cast shadows in my model. I've checked that all components/groups have the abilility to receive and cast shadows checked. When I turn on shadows I can check the tick box for 'use sun for shading', but cannot select 'on face, from ground, on faces' as the buttons are greyed out.

Does anyone have any ideas. I have a GEForce CTS 240 graphics card. Panic , I am rushing to finish some work for a client!

Thanks

Julie

Thanks Gaieus - I look forward to it.

Hi there,

Did anyone else get their prizes for the Piranesi/SketchUp competition, or is it just me? I get my new workstation delivered tomorrow and had really hoped to be able to load Piranesi and get it all up and working. I'd really love to know when I might get my copy? Trying not to nag and be a pain in the butt, but it seems to be taking a long time - the excitement has definitely died

Regards

Julie
