See this tutorial/topic too for ideas: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=744
There is this 3D Warehouse model that also works this way: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2d8578412680a3aec4922817757c112e (place the component on the wall and explode the parent component).

There is also this video but that's cheating 😉

Not textures, no. Only Face Me components.

Though render engines like V-Ray has such features.

That's a handy ruby, thanks. I often export the my sketchup models to 2d AutoCAD drawings, particularly at the concept stage of the project.
