Try doing a New&Reset (CTRL+ALT+N). In this case Archicad will start a new project with all the default attributes (fills are attributes) in it.
Or you can use the Attribute Manager to bring over individual fills from other Archicad Projects.

Next time you bring a dwg file use "Merge" or "X- Ref" so that the loss of fills, colors etc. is avoided.
