Importing Sketchup Files To Rhinoceros
Cosmasad: Thank you, guys. 100,000 POLYGONS right? It's tough to say.
If it's all flat surfaces you're exporting from rhino then 100k polygons in rhino is going to fair better in sketchup. Sketchup supports ngons so many of those polygons may combine or, coplanar surfaces can merge and it will be less taxing on sketchup. If it's a bunch of curved surfaces, what shows up as a quad in rhino may need to be triangulated in sketchup so the 100k polygon export becomes 2-300k in sketchup and the model will be (generally) very sluggish. Pretty much, you're going to just have to experiment with your exact models / hardware. But generally, use the lowest amount of polygons which still allows the sketchup model to maintain visual integrity. Just try not to get mad at sketchup for not supporting lots of polys i once tried to bring this rhino mesh made with a python script experiment into sketchup (approx 2.5million faces).

This is an interoperability guide and discussion on how to best bring your Sketchup site context model into.
It took sketchup almost 2hrs to open the file then was completely unusable afterwards. Moral of the story? Don't do that.
Here's the steps that I take to import a model built in SketchUp into Rhino. In the instructions below, I’m working on Windows 8.1. The SketchUp version is SketchUp Pro 2014, version 14.0.4900. Rhinoceros is version 5 SR7 64-bit. Once you have your model the way you want it in SketchUp, export it to the DWG format. In Rhino, import the DWG file. Then for each element of the model in Rhino, do the following two steps.

Use the 'MeshToNURB' and 'MergeAllFaces' commands to clean up the model. It's best to this in pieces instead of against the whole model in one step.
