Guys i think Scotts point was you could export to KMZ and open it in Google Earth, not in Sketchup.
It works great if the terrain is flat, and the objects can be turned on and off by catagory, which is nice. But you dont get much control with colors or anything. We've also had trouble in our office with the size of the exports. We need a 64 bit station to open the KMZ in GE (if we try on a 32 bit XP station it runs out of memory), but on the 64 bit Vista boxes the model looks all screwed up in GE. Various video cards, various drivers.
Also, with the terrain issue, youre almost better off exporting to DWG, going to sketchup, turning on terrain, tweaking as necessary, and going to GE from there.
There is a plugin for sketch up that allows you to import .KMZ files.
Its here on the Sketchucation Forum.
