load several .idf in sketchup (display requirement only)

Dear Everbody, I am searching a way to present numerus geometrical facade option that are the products of an optimization process. The first idea was to convert each .idf "individu" in .jpeg or other image file in order to put them together on a sheet like photographic contact print. Julien Marrec explain how to generate image file for a list of .idf in the question called: "Converting .idf to JPEG in batchmode". A second option has been suggested in the Philippe Marin phd thesis p194-195. Instead of individually print each project in order to put them together on a sheet, he put them together onto the graphical editor and export them once a time.

Would it be possible to load several .idf files into a sketchup file by organizing them in a grid ?
