Additional Information

The input may be a valid DAE model but since it only consists of points and lines, the geoprocessing tool cannot import it to output a multipatch feature class, which should be at least a face and at most a volume like geometry. A fix would be a warning or error.

Workaround

Export the files to a different format.
