Approach the problem from the other side.  How does one export a 3D model from Sketchup for use in AutoCAD.

That's only if you have Sketchup Pro. The free version doesn't allow exporting of models to Autocad.

True.  The OP did not mention the version he's using.

Just download the trial version: http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/download/gsup.html.

The trial is good for 8 hours of unlimited use, so that should be plenty of time to export out the .dwg.
