Importing Sketchup into Archicad

Every time I import a Sketchup object into Archicad (usually a piece of furniture of a fixture of some sort), it imports at a 3.19° skew. Does anyone know why this happens and, more importantly, how to fix it?

It follows "Project North".
Temporally set North to straight up, import object, then reset North.

One caveat that I haven't quite figured out...
If the saved view is rotated... that too will effect the rotation of the object when placed.
So set to Zero degrees before importing.
