Re: STL Import Plugin
There are also "official" Sketchup plugins for this. Check out the warehouse online.

I met Trimble's Tommy Acierno at Makerfaire. He recommended using this one - the one you mention that's in the warehouse.

BTW, they'll give folks a 30 day extension to anyone trying the product out. All you have to do is whine about the price like I did.
Do it in your "I wanna go to Disneyland" voice.
