Just that he had as close a connection as one might have with the CEO, Dominic Gallello, and what is the inside story on the GS-@Last connection.

Export as DWG/DXF from the 3D Window.
Insert in SketchUp.

The reason for exporting (although it will turn to block after export to dwg format) is that I don't know how to use Sketch Up, so if I build the 3d model using archicad myself and my workmates can work on it after i have exported the model to SKetch Up

And Why would you do that?
Anyway learning SU is easier than learning AC.

Quote from SketchUpDate below...

This -in theory- means that you can export your latest Skup model into version 3.x and that can be imported into ArchiCAD version 8.1 via the skup2ac81 plugin (my baby:)

once saved as an ArchiCAD file it supposed to be readable by AC9..
AC8.1 supposed to run with the AC9 key.

Hello SketchUp Users,

A new SketchUp build is now available for download! We
strongly encourage you to download this build as it contains a
feature that allows 4.0 files to be exported to version 3.x and
several bug fixes that have been causing SketchUp to crash.

Latest Builds:
Windows - 4.0.170
Mac - 4.0.173

In real life how much is one bound to loose between the tranfers from Upper to lowwer versions across another applications then again to a higher version?
