I guess this is to be expected. SketchUp Models are just surfaces. ArchiCAD objects created from GDL scripts can be interpreted as volumes for the section views and thus receive correct fills.

At least, that is what I assume to be happening here...

When importing the SketchUp model, import it as an editable script. Then, open the script, and input MODEL SOLID at the beginning.

A shot in the dark ... HTH!
