When I export my SketchUp Model to PDF and move it into Illustrator most of my curves parts of the model are made up of smaller almost dotted lines. In there any way for when I export these parts are just one solid selectable line?
Share your .skp file so we can see what you are working with. Curves, arcs, and circles in SketchUp are represented with short straight edges. Maybe that’s what you are seeing.
Ye I think that probably is the issue. Is there anything I can do to change this or is it just a matter of changing it in illustator.
Heres the files. Mind the Roof couldnt figure out how to connect the two parts LOL. (its the first model in the template that im exporting)

Are you referring to curves in your buildings?
You could use larger numbers of segments for them to make them appear smoother but they will still be segmented in your export.
How are you using the model in Illustrator? Maybe it would make more sense to be working in LayOut. Or maybe you can use the SketchUp model views in Illustrator as a guide for drawing the curves.

Im exporting my scenes which are mainly like axonometric images and some first person perpective scenes which im hoping to then edit in Illustrator and then Photoshop.
Well, as I wrote, you might need to just use the exported SkeetchUP views as a reference. Redraw the curves in Illustrator so they aren’t segmented.

ye perfect. Thankyou so much for your help and the quick response really is so so helpful. I know this is a different issue but the part of my roof that isnt connected i was really struggling to find a way to do this part. Do you have any ideas on how you might approach this type of building in SketchUp been driving me nuts hahaha. Thankyou for the help.
You mean this area?
I expect you will need to stitch the vertices, maybe like this. Then soften the edges.
