            That looks to be due to poor geometry in the model. Not something that can automatically fixed. When I opened the DWG in AutoCAD I got a warning I'd never seen before, it'd encountered 30 errors and wanted to abort loading the file.

              I created a simple cube greeble ruby a while ago that draws an array of cubes in xy, xz, yz, or xyz planes. My idea was to carve out cubes from these arrays to create other 3d objects, retaining the basic cube module, much like the Voxel idea. Attached is 3d object file.

              I ran Cleanup on this file. but it was unable to delete the redundant interior faces.
              In addition is Cleanup able to remove the unnecessary exterior cube lines while retaining the integrity of the 3d object?

                Cleanup does not remove internal faces. It's a very difficult thing to do - determining what is "inside" from code. Look at TIGs list of plugins, he have at least one that does that job.

                "unnecessary exterior cube lines" - you mean like mending a set of colinear edges into a single edge? That is can do.

                  Thanks for the help, I was working on a Solidworks file and wanted it as an sketchup file. So I made it a .dwg and there is the result.

                  Do you know a way to get a solidworks model into a sketchup file?

                    Afraid not, I've not used Solidworks - don't know it's export capabilities.

                        Solid Solver and Fix Solid should both do it - at least they where made to do so. Perhaps you have an edge case there.

                                        Use the browser's search feature to quickly find things. (Often F3 activates it)

                                          Remove Inner Faces by wikii in the Plugins Index.

                                          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
