Do I have the video for you.
This guy - "Winning with Sketchup" - is by far the best sketchup-in-the-real-world teacher I've found on the net to date. He's clear, succint and shows you which plugins he uses. Most are those we already have, but used well as part of an excellent workflow. He's a pro that actually uses Sketchup.
This helped me do almost exactly what you're trying for:
