Hello, that is my first put up. I did seek for different posts associated to DWG import points, however they don’t really feel like a very good match for my scenario.
I had a topographic survey carried out at my property and the corporate despatched a PDF and a DWG of the survey information. I can load the DWG into the AutoDesk on-line DWG viewer and it appears positive, identical to it ought to. Right here’s a screenshot:
A – LIDAR information from NOAA. Survey firm added this information to the principle file.
B – topo floor mannequin created from the precise survey factors that have been taken
C – Traces that the survey firm added to the file for waterlines, buildings, and so forth. (undecided why they’re at Y:0, however I’m OK with it)
Once I import the file into SU I obtain a warning. This warning appears considerably frequent from what I’ve present in my analysis when loading giant scale information, like a land survey.
Warning:
Some imported geometry is extraordinarily removed from the
mannequin origin. If you happen to expertise any instability with
your SketchUp mannequin, please delete that geometry
out of your .dwg/.dxf file and import once more.

I do see within the AutoCAD Entities Ignored part that there are lots of objects that have been ignored. That most likely explains my drawback, however I don’t know what to do about it! 
After the import, I see the “NOAA LIDAR” information however the topo mesh is lacking, these are most likely the ignored objects.
**I attempted to incorporate a display screen shot however for some motive “new customers” can solely have one embedded media merchandise.
I’ll have slightly little bit of a problem asking the survey firm to “repair the file” as a result of it masses positive within the Autodesk viewer. I’m hoping a number of the specialists right here have some further concepts or possibly can see the difficulty with the DWG file. I’ve hooked up the DWG file in addition to the SU file with the imported fashions.
