#SKETCHUP PRO UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT INSTALL#
#SKETCHUP PRO UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT SOFTWARE#
#SKETCHUP PRO UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT LICENSE#

Open the SketchUp file by clicking File > Open.For example, SketchUp Pro 2016 or SketchUp Make 2016. Open the version of SketchUp that matches the version of the SketchUp file.But don't worry, you can always 'down save' a model so you can open the file in an older version. As such, the model needs to be saved in the correct version of SketchUp that will open the file. Note that every major version of SketchUp (eg, 6, 7, 8, 2013, 2014, 2015) has a unique version of the *.skp file format. You may be seeing this error message if you created a model with SketchUp 2016 and you'd like to open the model with SketchUp 2015 or older.

#SKETCHUP PRO UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT INSTALL#

That worked!ДЄnd presumably your fix would work with this older install as well, Spacefrog.Д«utВ for whatever reason, Max 2015 isn't working in myВ case, where Max 2014 does. In frustration I tried a last resort: Importing the Sketchup 8 file into a version of 3ds Max 2014 I have on another machine. (Whereas the ењ†4 DLL caused the import process to not start in the first place - it acted like the DLL was missing or something.) The files would almost load (and wouldn't start unless I told it to not import hidden geometry), but then fail with the same message. Strangely, even though my Max install is ењ†4 the x86 DLL worked better. Spacefrog, I tried your suggestion and found that in the SDK the path to the DLL has changed - there's now ењ†4 and an x86 versions. Tried saving to Sketchup 8 (and 7, and every version up to the latest) and none would load into Max 2015. I had a file from Sketchup 2015 that I couldn't load into 3ds Max 2015, receiving the same error as in the OP. Still work with Sktechup 2015 files, once Sketchup 2015 gets releasedД«est regards, Josef Wienerroither ( spacefrog ) With Sketchup 2015 ( check the docs coming with the SDK ). * According to Trimble, the 'SketchUpReader' functionality will be deprecated and removed * i did not test this fix to all extents, but it worked for me on medium complex files * Restart 3ds Max and enjoy the new Sktechup 2013&2014 import capability * Copy this file to your 3ds Max 2014 folder * Locate the following file in your extract-location * Extract the downloaded zipfile (SketchUp-SDK-Win.zip) somewhere, * In the Max root folder, rename 'SketchUpReader.dll' to 'SketchUpReader_BAK.dll' * Goto the Trimble homepage and download Sketchup SDK A few days ago i discovered a quick fix for this issue You have to explicitely save to V8 format in Sketchup to make the Files compatible I've found a fix for this problem, please follow the following procedure to fix the problem foreverДЄs many might know, 3 ds Max's Sketchup import fails on Sketchup 2013/2014 files
