So i finally figured out how to import TIN surfaces from ArcGIS 10 into SketchUp 8. To fully replicate the functionality of the legacy ArcGIS SketchUp 6 Extension I would also like to be able to export vector features. I though it might be relatively easy by just exporting to KML then bundelling that and the TIN export procedure in a single model but… Vector features exported to KMZ crash in import to SketchUp 8.
Any ideas?
I would also be perfectly happy if I could import shapefiles directly into SkethUp 8 Pro. Ruby Script or any other solution would be fine.

Try exporting to COLLADA in ArcGIS 10. Then import to Sketchup Pro. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001200000049000000.htm
