I have a little problem in SketchUp
Sometimes I import models from AutoCAD to SU and some solids have double faces
a)How can I identify and delete them, there is some plugin?
b) Why some curves lines (ellipses) looks faceted... can fix that little problem... how? Thanks for your help

I'm not sure about (a), but all curves in SketchUp are actually collections of straight edges. If you want to make it look smoother, just tell SU to use more edges. For arcs and circles, this can be changed on-the-fly, but imported stuff usually uses uneditable "Curves" which are sort of like Groups but for a string of edges that are attached end-to-end. You'll either have to change how it's imported in the first place, or manually replace all the curves with newer, higher-resolution ones. I suppose the second option could be automated, but I don't think there is currently a script for that.

You can always take your curve and convert it to FSpline or Cubic Bezier to get more intermediate points (you need first to convert it to a Polyline). But I am not sure it can give always the same best results as to think of the number of segments in the first place when you create the curve, as RunnerPack says.
