on a VW2010 thread over at pushpullbar, it was suggested to goto .kmz via google earth and then hack out the kml file ... But I couldn't figure that out with google earth. sigh.
Sketchup 7.1+ has built-in Import directly from .kmz and .dae (Collada)
Menu: File > Import...
Change file type to (.kmz,.dae) and choose the file.
