Well, the SW to ACIS to DWGeditor to DWG to SketchUp worked but the geometry has a few 'holes' as it imports to SketchUp. The DWG file seems to be correct. I would attach the DWG file but I guess I can not attach DWG files here... I will play with the original geometry to see what is happening between SW and SU.

Had a chance to look at this again. I am able to open with DWGeditor. Let me have a look at the file and see if I can edit it as I would like. Thanks for the tip!!!!!

RE: Solidworks export into SketchUp?
Yes, that plug-in does work, but the triangulation of stl is a real pain in the...
I modeled a simple airfoil in Solidworks and stl converted it into hundreds of triangles which is not very user friendly. I guess I will seach for a 'cleaner' solution to import curved surfaces. -
RE: Solidworks export into SketchUp?
I think I figured it out. I was not having much luck with that plugin but after messing with the .stl Solidworks settings I think I have it. I needed to set the Solidworks stl output options to ascii. The resultant model needs cleaning up due to the trangulation of stl but it works.
Thanks to all... -
