#829 broken file

[Cvetelina Yancheva]

Hi dears,

my home project's file is broken.
Yesterday my computer was frozen and I reboot it while SH3D was working and I can't open the file now.

I worked on it for about a year. The file is not very large - 15,6 MB.
Please, please, help me to recover and open it!

Thank you in advance!

I'm sending you the file as attachment if you can do something.

Your file is full of zeros, i.e. it contains no usable data.
You may have still a chance to recover a part of your work, by following this tip: check in the subfolders of C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\work (where user is your login) if there are some files starting by open and ending with .sweethome3d. If such files exist, copy the most recent one, change its extension by .sh3d and try to open it with Sweet Home 3D.

It worked! It was a little difficult, because the folder AppData was hidden, but I found it!
God bless you, dear Emmanuel!

Great that you could recover your work! :)
