Hello, that is my first submit. 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 knowledge. I can load the DWG into the AutoDesk on-line DWG viewer and it appears advantageous, similar to it ought to. Right here’s a screenshot:
A – LIDAR knowledge from NOAA. Survey firm added this knowledge to the primary file.
B – topo floor mannequin created from the precise survey factors that had been taken
C – Strains that the survey firm added to the file for waterlines, buildings, and so forth. (unsure why they’re at Y:0, however I’m OK with it)
After 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 knowledge, like a land survey.
Warning:
Some imported geometry is extraordinarily removed from the
mannequin origin. Should you 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 numerous objects that had 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” knowledge however the topo mesh is lacking, these are most likely the ignored objects.
**I attempted to incorporate a display screen shot however for some cause “new customers” can solely have one embedded media merchandise.
I’ll have just a little little bit of a problem asking the survey firm to “repair the file” as a result of it masses advantageous within the Autodesk viewer. I’m hoping a number of the consultants right here have some further concepts or perhaps can see the difficulty with the DWG file. I’ve connected the DWG file in addition to the SU file with the imported fashions.
