        Hello Emad,

        You can use Sketchup Pro or a DWG/DXF import plugin to bring your AutoCAD drawing into Sketchup. Then use MakeFaces or another plugin to create a surface you can push/pull. Stand the imported drawing up vertical, and push/pull to create thickness. Then you can use the Shapebender plugin to match the curvature of the wall.

          Look at the possibility of using a transparent png texture as well. Would love to see what you come up with!

            Pbacot gives you a good suggestion you may also try transparent PNG textures also.
