I am looking for a way to import .skp files into blender. The only idea that I have right now is that if i can somehow programmatically import the sketchup files into sketchup and than export them as .dae files than i can run those model in blender.

Is this possible using the Python API for blender and Ruby API for sketchup ? Or is there a better way to do this ?

I haven't tried it, but this question points to a programmatic way of converting/exporting SketchUp files: Is there a command line in Google Sketchup to export in 3ds or fbx format?

I'm sure it is possible to adapt this aproach to export .dae (Collada).

Exists an add-on - Importer for Sketchup - that enable an option submenu for import .skp files.

It's opensource, hosted on Github with the repository name pyslapi and your developer - martijnberger, aka Juicyfruit - has posted more informations in the forum blenderartists.org in the following link - click me.

It's have some UV issues but looks promissor.
