Thanks Baba, so the trick would still be limiting your SketchUp
pallet to be primy. This is another thing I saw along those lines
using Maya, by Adrian Eisenberg:

"My solution is to rebuild the Second Life prim creation tools in
Maya, and then bring that information over to SL. The solution has
two parts- a MEL script that remakes the SL interface in Maya, and a
"replicator" object that recreates the content in world."

Hi guys, I just saw John Hurliman's 3pointD comment on the

"We already have an xml format for prims, so anyone in the
community is free to write a SketchUp to .prims converter. Easier
said than done though, as converting from one procedural format to
another (at least in this case) is extremely difficult."
As someone waiting for this, I bow to you, oh libSL masters :).
Has anyone here looked at this? Is it really possible (if
extremely difficult) to do now?
