Adding OS objects to skp geometry

I'm working with a colleague of mine on a somewhat unique project, and earlier this afternoon he sent me a .skp of the buildings we're working with. Turns out, he doesn't have the OpenStudio plugin installed, and literally just built the structures as SketchUp geometries.

My question is, is it possible to take what he's done an manually go in and assign spaces/zones/material properties en route to creating an osm? I realize this isn't the prescribed workflow, but I haven't been able to find (that's not to say it isn't out there) any reference of someone attempting to go down this path.

Thanks.
