answered my own question.
Once I open the zipped DEM file in my pc program 3DEM, I changed projection to UTM. Then I patched missing data . Then is is safe to save the file as USGS ASCII DEM. SketchUp can then read the DEM file.

DEM imports-
Happy new year,
SketchUp is shutting down when I import a USGS DEM file. I had to download and unzip the file on a PC before i could transfer to the mac. SketchUp accepts the file as a DEM, but shuts down right after it starts importing. If you have ever tried to right click paste in SketchUp instead of Edit> paste you have probably had a similar shut down. Has anyone else had this problem? I have looked through tutorials and everything so far has said it should work...
