There are two Sketchup plugins for ArchiCad12...

Anyway, try to save your Sketchup file as skp version5. ( The Sketchup plugin has a problem in importing any newer skp file version than that)

then try to open it again in ArchiCad...

so if i'm not wrong:

If you install this one it will open directely from file / open ( *.skp should appear as a file format choice ) this will transform any skp surface into walls, slabs, roofs...

however, if you install this one it will open directely from file / open ( Google WH Sketchup .skp should appear as a file format choice ) it will import directely your skp file as an object

In both cases, save your skp file as skp 5th version before importing in Archicad

I can't help then ...

ok, a last thing 😉 ,you could check your model with zoom options : click on fit to window , zoom in and out...etc...it could be possible that your model is either too small( far) or too big ....
