      Is there a way to save layers as individual .skp files? Is there a plugin out there that does this currently?

        You will see that previously some 343 people have managed to download this script http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=183609#p183609 - it probably does what you want.

          haha, thanks TIG. I've never had much luck with Sketchucation's search algorithm, and this time Google didn't do much for me either. Heck, even knowing the name of your script, it's a bit difficult to get it to come up in a search.

          Anyhow, thanks for the script πŸ˜„

            Actually that doesn't seem to do what I want TIG. I'm not really wanting to "export" so much as "save". Since you can't export .skp files the script doesn't seem to work.

            Basically I've got a nice layer setup in SU that I'm wanting to bring into 3ds Max. Max imports .skp nicely but doesn't handle the layers all that great so I'm wanting to save out each layer as a file and bring them in separately in Max.

              Valid extensions include dae, kmz, 3ds, dwg, dxf, fbx, obj, wrl, and xsi.
              SketchUp Free only supports dae and kmz.
              Unfortunately 'skp' is not available, but '3ds' is for Pro...
