      Thanks for the information. Yes indeed in the file menu i can import dxf and dwg files but i have still a problem left. When i for example draw a circle in autocad, save it and then import it in sketchup (even when i have already a component in the scene)the circle apears in the scene but there is no surface created such as when you draw a circle in SU. My intention was to draw complex sections in autocad and then export them to SU to make 3D models of it with for example the push/pull function.

        Export as 3d and ensure that your 'options' are set appropriately in the export dialog window...

          You can export your drawing in autocad as a 3D DWF file but that does not change anything when i import it in SU. In the import function in SU i have no possibility to select 3D models.

            "Plain" 3d arc/circles imported from DWG/DXF are recognized as such in the SKP, so you can then change their segmentation in Entity Info later [there is also a script to change selected arc/circle's segmentation en mas sin the same way]. If the arc is part of a 3d form it's not changeable.
