Why doesnt sketchup understand "Mass Element" objects from cad?
-
Mass elements are not standard Autocad objects, but special AEC objects created by AutoCad Architecture (formerly Architectural Desktop). These can only be read or manipulated by the originating application, or AutoCad supplied with the appropriate object enabler add-on. To get these into SU in 3D, you will have to use the Export to Autocad function in AutoCad Architecture from a viewport that has a 3D view on. This will convert the Mass elements to standard 3D objects (solids or meshes, I don't know which). The same applies to all Autocad Architecture objects like walls, doors, windows, roofs etc.
