      Also to place this model on a new layer within the current model named "filename.skp" ? ...

        From SketchUp to SketchUp?
        You can do it manually. Open the file you want to import. Select all the Layers (except Layer 0).
        Delete.
        You will get an option to delete the geometry or move it to the default layer. Choose to move it to the default layer.
        Save the drawing.

        Open the other drawing, import the file. It should come in as a component.
        Place the component on the layer of your choice.
        If you want all the entities in the component on this same layer, edit the component, select all the geometry, move to the same layer.

        I use this process when working with AutoCAD imports. Bring it into SketchUp, clean it up, strip all the layers, views, excess components, etc. Get it all on Layer 0.
        Bring it into my working drawing.
