Early SketchUp Pro 2024 builds could not read AutoCAD 2024’s native .dwg file format (specifically the AC1027 drawing format). Users had to down-save to 2018 format.
Fixed in 240594: Native support for AC1027. You can now drag and drop a DWG from AutoCAD 2024 directly into SketchUp without a conversion step. Additionally, blocks containing proxy entities (from vertical AutoCAD products like Civil 3D) are now exploded intelligently rather than being dropped.
To appreciate version 24.0.594, you must understand the pain points of earlier 2024 builds. Users reported three catastrophic categories of issues. sketchup pro 2024 240594 fixed
While build 240594 solved critical stability issues, no software is perfect. You should be aware of three things that are not fixed in this build (as of the latest release notes):

Build 553 had a notorious bug where IfcBuildingElementProxy entities would export with inverted normals. When imported into Revit 2024, entire walls would appear black.
Fixed in 240594: The IFC exporter now validates normal directions before writing the geometry. This fix is retroactive—opening an old file in 594 and re-exporting will correct the normals.
