Export to Google Earth from SketchUp

Some of you have expressed interest in being able to export your SketchUp models to Google Earth. This is now possible, albeit in a very basic way.

The attached zip file contains a couple of ruby scripts that you can drop into your SketchUp plugins directory. The first one, "Export KML (faces)" will attempt to export your model as-is. It works quite well for solid objects, but doesn't yet cope with holes.

To get around that, there is another script "Export KML (mesh)" , which first generates a mesh of your object(s) and exports that. Not as pretty, but neatly avoids having to deal with holes.

Neither will export colors, materials, textures etc. But it should be enough to whet a few appetities.
