I think most of you can see the problem right off the bat, so many lines. fyi: This part was imported

You've imported a part with lots of edges/lines, so what we see is exactly what was to be expected. STL format only supports parts made up of triangles, so there cannot be any smooth surfaces in an STL part. You'll need to redesign the part based on the import. For such a simple part it should take just minutes, though.
Hello Evan. To my understanding, a mesh such as this is useable in Onshape for reference. Using sketches you can select vertices (Use tool) to collect points to find dimensions. I wouldn't expect precision in determining some dimensions. For example: in selecting points to get a diameter, are opposite points selected on the part's diameter actually in line with the part's center? The height dimensions should be easier to accurately capture. - Scotty
onshape doesn't support internal threads so it isn't simple
Doesn't support internal threads? Do you mean it can't model them or can't spec them on a drawing?
In any case there are solutions:
