Ho, ho, ho!
Just in time for the season of slow afternoons and
old TV show reruns I have compiled a preview of my
upcoming Sketchup exporter. This is a test version
and must not be used in a production environment!
Unfortunately it does not work with Internet Explorer
yet so Windows users will find little joy in installing
it. My apologies.
Mac OS X users are advised to upgrade to Sketchup 7 and
grab the zip file from the google code project page:
http://su2rad.googlecode.com/files/su2rad_Xmas_special_2008.zip
I have set up a web page with screen shots and some
comments here:
I will be available on Monday for feedback or help, then
I'll leave for the holidays where I will most likely not
have internet available. I will resume support on the 2nd
of January next year.
So I hope it works for you (and if it doesn't ask yourself
'Have you been naughty ...?' 
Happy winter solstice celebrations,
Thomas

I was able to run it in Firefox on WinXP, fwiw. I didn't have much time to play with it Thomas, but the basics seem to work! thanks Thomas!
I installed SU 7 and put the surad.pl and the su2radlib folder in /Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/Plugins folder.
However, I don't see it in my plugins menu - just Cost > Assign Estimate to Material etc.
I do have it working in SU 5 and SU 6
I also put them in my account Users/robfitzs/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/Plugins
Could my multiple versions be causing a problem?
OS 10.4.11
Thanks
Rob

Thanks for testing, Rob.

As they say in programming:
It does work - for very small values of 'work'.
But I'm on it! Don't you worry, Windows folks.
And a happy new year, too.

Hi Rob.
I installed SU 7 and put the surad.pl and the su2radlib folder in /Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/Plugins folder.
That should be a su2rad.rb. Can you check that it
really has the *.rb extension, please. Sketchup will
only load *.rb files. My version of SU7 now came with
are lower case 'plugins' folder. Did you create your
own?
If this is not the problem, open the Ruby console
(menu Window - Ruby console) and type at the prompt
load 'su2rad.rb'
That should, at least, create an error message that
can tell us something. If it returns 'true' it should
be fine.
However, I don't see it in my plugins menu - just Cost > Assign Estimate to Material etc.
I do have it working in SU 5 and SU 6
I also put them in my account Users/robfitzs/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/Plugins
I don't know is Sketchup uses a private directory.
I'll try that; sounds like a good idea.

Same here. I have no problem with multiple version of
SU. But you can only have one version of 'su2rad.rb' and
'su2radlib' in the 'plugins' folder.
How do you identify your SU versions? I modified
the colors of my appicon to see which is SU7 and SU6.
PS: Good news for the Windows folks: I found the
show stopper bug on IE. Expect an update shortly.
Regards,
Thomas

Thomas,
My typo - it is su2rad.rb - not .pl
I did as you said load `su2rad.rb`
is that a single quote, ' or a back-tic ` (on same key as tilda) ~ ?
I used back-tic ` and got this error
load `su2rad.rb`
Error: #<Errno::EISDIR: /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/: Is a directory - /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/>

Use a single quote, the back-tick on unix systems expands the command
just in a way as it is done in radiance world by adding a ! to the
beginning of an term, so `su2rad.rb` would be replaced by the shell to
the output of the command su2rad.rb - which is the error you got (the
result of that command was 0, so sketchup tried to load a file named 0).
