What is a SKB file? File with an.SKB extension contains a backup copy of a 3D object created in SketchUp software; it corresponds to an.SKP file. It is used in case of losing or damaging the original file, just change the extension from SKB into SKP. Google SketchUp software is used for 3D modelling. The Quick Way to Open Files with SKB Extension Different software packages use different file extensions, so if you can't open the SKB file, it could be because: You don't have the associated software on your computer (QuickPOS Standard Keyboard Layout File and SketchUp Backup Document are the most popular software packages that use SKB file). An SKB file is a backup document created by the Windows version of SketchUp, a free 3D modeling program. It contains a backup of a.SKP SketchUp 3D model. SKB files are saved automatically using the program's auto-save feature in case the original SKP file becomes corrupted or is accidentally deleted.

What is an SKP file?
An SKP file is a three-dimensional model created by SketchUp software, an easy-to-use 3D design program. It contains a model which includes wireframes, shades, edge effects, and textures. SKP files may also store components that can be inserted into your document.
The SKP file is the main file type used by SketchUp that allows conceptual designs to be created, viewed, and shared quickly and easily. When you create a new document and save it in SketchUp the SKP file is created to store the document and its contents. SKP files can also be used to store SketchUp components, which are objects, such as a door or window, that you can reuse to save time. Components may be made by you or another user and can be imported into an SKP document to be inserted into your model.
SketchUp also allows you to save your document for archiving purposes. If you want to backup your SKP document you can save it as an .SKB backup file.
SketchUp was originally developed by @Last Software, but was bought by Google in 2006. SketchUp 5 was the last version released by @Last. Version 6 was developed by Google but it is now owned by Trimble. SketchUp models created with SketchUp can be placed within Google Earth or shared using the 3D Warehouse feature.
