How to import DAE files as multiple multipatches

Question

We are trying to import a DAE or 3DS file into ArcGIS pro.  While the import is bringing in the model as we expected, it's all coming in a single feature (multipatch).  We can't seem to control the symbology of the layers that handle floors, walls, etc...  Any tips?

Did any of you ever solve the problem of all objects of a .dae file getting converted into one single feature (multipatch) instead of, e. g., each building in a separate (multipatch) feature (in the .dae-file, some structure with respect to different objects with different "geometry id"s is present)?

Basically, use a geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro to convert the .dae file(s).

Toolboxes -> 3D Analyst Tools -> Conversion -> From File -> Import 3D Files

Note: each converted file will be a multipatch in the designated feature class.

If you have a chance, how were you able to import the .dae files?  I've read the documentation but been unable to make sense of it.
