Sketchup import/export
Hi Community. From my experiances it would be a very useful export/import. More advanced clients that we work for share their ides with us sending the sketchu files and in return we need to send them a sketchup file ( and I hate sketchup personally). That situation has happend as well in the previous company I was working for so I think it could be a quite common problem issue.
Ps. At the moment I have work out a convoluted way to do this. If anyone need it I can share me way but I have to get to my notes at work.

So, from what you say, it is difficult because of two things. One license and second documentation. Thank you for checking that.
Is there an open specification for the Sketch-up format?
* @Jason van Gumster * No documentation. This is a proprietary format. Content of the file is accessible only through the API. More info at extensions.sketchup.com/developer_center/sketchup_c_api/sketchup/index.html
* @pcsd24 * I couldn't quickly find the API's license, but after reviewing their terms of service, I suspect that the API is not GPL-compliant. That would make an importer/exporter pretty difficult to develop (on par with FBX).
