Re: Sketchup problem
I can't remind whether .3ds plugin in ZModeler2 has some specific limitations, may be it goes wrong on exporting hierarchy. I can recommend to disassemble hierarchy to have just a list of geometry parts - get rid of dummies and hierarchy tree (child/parent relations).
Also, .3ds is limited on object names (18 chars) and material names (12 chars). Rename materials to Mat#01, Mat#02, Mat#03 etc. It also has a limitation on texture names (12 chars), but these are automatically renamed on export when exceeded.

Re: Sketchup problem
Thanks Oleg. I thought there would be another way. I also had ZModeler 3. That has a .dae exporter and Sketchup also supports that. So I opened it up in ZModeler 3 and exported it to .dae. Same thing that happened but even worse. NOTHING! I guess I'll try it your way.
