      If the CAD file's points are located in 3d you simply make copy of the DWG file and delete everything that isn't a 3d point - or perhaps save them as an external DWG.
      Then import that DWG into an empty SKP file.
      You now have a 3d cloud of guide-points...
      Use one of the available extensions to make the mesh from the preselected points, e.g.

      note that needs LibFredo too:

          We can probably help you. You'd need to give us more information. What kind of file did you get from the surveyor? What version of SketchUp are you really using? Your profile says you are using 2020 Free/Make but there is no such version. If we know the correct version we can help you sort out what tools you have available to get the job done.
