Hello Anders,
I've been reading the posts in the lugnet.com/cad news about my LDraw
SketchUp Plugin. Thanks for the posting.
I have uploaded a new version with a basic export function. It looks at only
the faces in the current model and exports a .dat file (defaults to
c:/ldraw/test.dat).
Maybe you could give it a try. I'd like to hear about how you would like to
use SketchUp for part authoring so I can understand how to make the
importer/exporter better.

So let's go to http://jim.foltz.googlepages.com/sketchupldrawimporter and
download it and test it. Jim knows of the postings here now, so we can add
our findings, ideas and bug-reports in this thread.
