Then when i tried opening the file the message " Unsuspected file format" pops up. I NEED HELP, HOW CAN I RECOVER THIS !?
I use SketchUP Pro 2014 for my self employed business, so you can imagine my horror when after working on a file for about a solid week or more it popped up a message this morning saying:- ** UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT **
There is no where to go after this message, even the .skb file after re-naming says the same thing.
