IMHO, importing from sketchup into viz/max has always been a game of roulette......never comes in clean only by freak chance. the normals may need to be flipped and then smoothed. so play with your smoothing groups. also welding of verts. that black area may be multiple verts on top of each other that need to be welded then smoothed.
In the end I've always found it easier to build from scratch in viz because until I fix/correct all the problems from importing I could have just built it cleaner to begin with.
