Can you export the model from Sketchup in a file type that can be opened in AutoCAD (like DXF)?

Don't thank me yet; I haven't done anything.

From the looks of it your geometry came in as blocks and once exploded it's a bunch of polyline triangles.  Not the best geometry to work with.  Some redrawing would be necessary.

The easy stuff first then comes the challenging part which I won't be able to get to for a few hours.  I have things to do.

I created profiles of different shapes using polylines then used the LOFT command (with Guide option in two instances) to create the solids.

OK...I'm done.  I had to remove a portion of the red solid that projected through the curved magenta solid.  I did this using the Subtract command (on a copy of the objects) followed by the Separate command then erasing the protruding portion of the solid.
