I've yet to have problems with the SW import feature.
Could you post the original SW file, pre-import?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for replying so quickly. I appreciate it very much! Turns out that the problem was in the file format I was importing. My co-worker saved a STEP file from solidworks. That is a format that Rhino recognizes. I had to explode the block instance it came in as, in order to move the glass and other window parts to their respective layers for applying materials. It rendered beautifully.

If you are using Windows Vista you can also try opening Rhino by right clicking the destop icon and selecting "Run as administrator".
For some reason Rhino will then open Solidworks files.
