Hey Bro,
Here's a nugget of what I saw before having to manually change every face on the model ...again I think the sketchup material library is conflicting with the Octane material library. Because every time I load up the files the Octane material library has a very limited number of in use materials, despite the model using every material from the Octane library. Hope that wasn't too confusing.
Thank you!

hello mate, i think you have 2 material applied to that object(or group).
Let me explain, for example if you have a cube and create a group, inside there are 6 faces, each face as 2 sides (inside and outside), normals should be facing outside (check if they are all facing the correct direction).
This group has the default material applied, you can paint the group or enter inside and paint each face.
If you enter the group and paint faces with ex: brick, all goes well, even if you have a face with inverted Normals. But then when outside if you paint the group as ex:glass (the faces with normals facing the wrong direction will be painted with the material of the group and not the material you are trying to apply to that face (because the face as inverted normals)
May be this, or may be any other thing.
If you can share the file and we can check it.
cheers
