Can't see my imported dwg file in my skp file
-
Hi everyone! I am trying to import a DWG file to sketchup that includes buildings and roads, it takes a long time too import and after it is completed, I can't see my imported file even though the layers appear in the default tray.
I tried to change the placement of the layers and put it in the origin on autocad but didn't work.
Can you please help me about it? I really need to import the file and start modelling the buildings and everything by tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance for all.

Are you really using SketchUp 2015 Make as indicated in your profile? If so, what are you using o import the .dwg file?
Have you tried hitting Zoom Extents? What import options are you using? What version is the .dwg file?
Share the file so we can take a look at it.

I am using SketchUp Pro 2017, sorry I'll change that in my profile, thanks for reminding. And the dwg file I am using is saved as AutoCAD 2000 version. I am just opening SketchUp and click on file>import and then select the dwg file. The file is 17 MB so the forum didn't let me upload it.
I tried the Zoom Extents and now I can see the imported file, thanks a lot. However the program gets super slow and it makes it too hard to work on my file. Do you have any suggestions on how to reduce the file and fasten sketchup?

Well, you might be able to do some cleanup to the CAD file before importing it.
What graphics card? Maybe you need to update the drivers or get a better GPU. That's often where the bottleneck is.
Looks like you changed the year but it still shows Free/Make which creates confusion.
