    If it's a Block in acad terms, Explode it. You should still have the Sketch-up object. Whether or not that can be made into a solid, I've no idea - but I'd like to know.

    wouldn't the burst command work better. I tend to find that the explode command tends to return faces or meshes. Burst tends to be a little more gental.

    I doubt that it is an acad-compatible block.
