How to Open SKP Files
Since SKP files are associated with multiple programs and applications, double click on the file to see if it will automatically open in a default program you have installed on your PC. SKP files can consist of different file types, so you may already have a program which will open the file.
If the SKP files originate from SketchUp and you use Windows, you can open them by downloading a free version of SketchUp. Other programs that will open SKP files in Windows include Trimble SketchUp or IMSI TurboCAD Deluxe. For Mac OS X, you can use Trimble SketchUp or IMSI TurboCAD Deluxe v6, and for Linux you can use Trimble 3D Warehouse to open SKP files related to SketchUp.
SKP files associated with Corex require you to install the Corex program and then integrate the program with the Corpus Gesproken Nederlands database in order to open this type of SKP file. This allows you to use Corex commands to work with the CGN database and to open and view SKP files.
If the file extension SKP is created by SSEYO Koan, you can download and install the SSEYO Koan application from the CNET website to open and view SKP files. You can also view the contents of the file using any text editor such as Notepad or WordPad for Windows, Apple TextEdit for Mac, or gEdit and Nano Editor for Linux.
SKP files associated with the Sage accounting program can be opened using the Sage software program, which is available on the Sage website. You can also opt to use the Sage cloud solution to open SKP files using your web browser. This type of SKP file can also be opened using Microsoft Excel, which is part of the Microsoft Office Suite of applications, or OpenOffice, which is multiplatform and available as a free download from the OpenOffice.org website.
