Do the textures get fragmented again if you export to obj from Blender?
What do you mean fragmented?
I don't remember such issues, I use obj all the time, exchanging with 3dcoat, zbrush, modo and other apps. -

Do they become separated again (as they were when first imported into Blender)?
I'm just trying to figure out a better workflow for getting SU models into other formats. For DAE & OBJ I currently have to triangulate and explode everything to avoid textures fragmenting into lots of separate materials.

I never texture in SU as it leads to more problems long term

It's on my to-do list. I just need to find some free time and good tutorials.

Stay away from Blender's tutorials if you want to remain sane, David...

It's to late for that Massimo!
Every time I open Blender it feels like I've entered a universe where the laws of physics have been completely rewritten.

Once you begin to understand Blender you will never look back.
An adding bonus is you will never model in the typical SketchUp fashion again.

There are the laws of polymeshes. The laws of topology. Of UVs.
There aren't any laws of physics in a 3d environment.
I had the same issues when started learning blender.
There isn't much of a difference than working in modo.
SUp is great, if we keep things in groups, keep normals in tact.
I would say, build the basics in SU, export it and feel it with furniture models, textures etc in blender. Cycles is a great render engine, it's free. More optional render engines, like thea, vray, octane etc are there. Let's not forget the wonderful and very slow Luxrender. (maybe the best renderer for jewelry presentations. (caustics at their best) -

Some of the blender video tutorials on you tube are actually incorrect.
Personally i would recommend signing in to blendswap download a few models in the staff picks category and reverse engineer them.
I'm sure with your skills you will get an understanding within no time at all.
