Summary0000010: Please tech file to recognize the Sketchup 3D model format
DescriptionThis is forwarded from <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/903693 >.

The Sketchup 3D model format is used by the Sketchup modelling tool
available from <URL: https://www.sketchup.com/ >.

This is how it is handled at the moment:

  % file 35vertical.skp
  35vertical.skp: Zip archive data, o
  % file --mime 35vertical.skp
  35vertical.skp: application/octet-stream; charset=binary
  %

According to <URL: https://www.filesuffix.com/en/extension/skp >, its
MIME type should be application/vnd.sketchup.skp. According to
<URL:https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.sketchup.skp>,
this format is not registered with IANA.

An example file can be downloaded from
<URL: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:898198 >.

As apparently all sketchup files have an identical header (some framing and a ucs-2 encoded text), the magic is fairly simple:

0 string \xff\xfe\xff\x0e\x53\x00\x6b\x00\x65\x00\x74\x00\x63\x00\x68\x00\x55\x00\x70\x00\x20\x00\x4d\x00\x6f\x00\x64\x00\x65\x00\x6c\x00 SketchUp Model
!:mime application/vnd.sketchup.skp
!:ext skp

The Debian package will ship this from the next version on.

PS: Any chance we'll ever have the mailing list again?
