From AutoCAD to SketchUp: Importing Plans
I recommend doing this in a new, empty Sketchup file, so that you can clean up the tags and avoid making your working files messy.
File > Import > DWG. The CAD file will be imported as a SketchUp component, and its file name will automatically become the component name.
View > Hidden objects and Hidden geometry.
Delete any irrelevant objects outside the plan.
Under Tags, look for tag/layers that are turned off (hidden). If you don't need these hidden layers, select those tags > delete > delete entities.
Under Tags, select all tags > assign to Untagged. CAD layer colours will be preserved as SketchUp materials, so you can still select according to layer by selecting according to material with Selection Toys.

When exporting plans, sections, or elevations, make sure you're using a preset orthogonal view, or that the view is parallel to a surface.
