Hi San, that is a cool logo!

MoI and Sketchup use different methods for defining 3D objects.
Sketchup uses a polygon-based method, but MoI uses a method called "NURBS", which are sort of smooth surface patches.
It is possible to break a smooth NURBS surface up into Polygons, and that is what MoI does when you export to an .obj, .3ds, or .stl file. But it is not very easy to take a bunch of polygons and try to reconstruct a smooth surface patch out of them, so it is hard to go from polygons in Sketchup into MoI.

Is it possible to export the lines as an IGES file from AutoCAD? A long time ago it used to be possible, but I guess they probably removed that at some point.
I would think that there should be some kind of plug-in for AutoCAD that would enable saving IGES files though, if you could find a plugin for that, then that would be a method.
I do want to add support to MoI for reading AutoCAD DWG/DXF files, but I won't be able to work on that until version 2.0 of MoI.
