If you need a powerful tool to create, view and edit the 3 ideas, the SketchUp must be your best choice. It is amazing to complete your work. SketchUp save each model project file into the .skp file format. It will store all SketchUp layers, components and objects. And the Auto-Save function will save the project file as .skb when the original .skp file exists. The .skb and .skp files both can open with SketchUp and SketchUp Viewer.
Today a SketchUp user feedback that he lost his SketchUp model because of the computer crash. Is there any solution to recover those PDF, DWG, XLS and SKP files? Here we discuss how to recover the deleted or lost SketchUp model file from the computer.
1. Use SketchUp AutoSave function
If you have ever set up in your Sketch menu Window -> Preferences -> General tab -> In the ‘Create Backup’ [SKB] and ‘Auto Save’ [at set time interval] check-box options… The SketchUp will name AutoSave_FILENAME.skp for some unexpected situations, such as the computer shut down or the SketchUp crashed.
The AutoSave location:
For Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015~2018/SketchUp/Autosave/AutoSave_FILENAME.skp
