Google SketchUp models are .kmz files which are nothing more than ZIPped XML files with vertices, polygons, textures etc in plain text. I'm a very big fan of SketchUp and it's great for developing scenery, the only thing is that no-one has ever attempted to create a converter for Keyhole Markup Language (XML with a defined format) to a 'regular' model format like 3DS or Gmax. Should be possible though.
