Hi -

I’m afraid there is nothing that can be recovered from that file.

oh mahn. 1 month of work on there. that would be very unfortunate :frowning:

Hi Tanishq,

To expand on Wim’s response, your file isn’t simply damaged, the entire content has been overwritten with hex zeroes.

I’m guessing from your response that you don’t back your work up. To avoid future calamities you should start exploring your options for doing so while this is still raw enough to motivate you to do it. If you are operating a business you need to take regular copies of your work on storage media that you can store off-site or in the cloud. Also, while working in Grasshopper, utilise the backup option at intervals throughout the day so you have timestamped copies of your work that you can go back to if something goes wrong.

Sorry for your pain.
Jeremy

Did you already to check the AutoSave folder for a working backup?
