[vtkusers] Try Google Sketchup to VTK Exporter

[Alex Southern]

Hi,

I realized three things..

1. The VTK Exporter for Google Sketchup plugin website 
http://vtkexport4sketchup.blogspot.com/ did not allow anyone without a 
google account to comment, this has now been rectified, please leave 
suitable comments of criticism and encouragement.

2. For the plugin to work in Sketchup you must 'Explode' (ungroup) all 
parts of the model that are grouped, there a few extra details how to do 
this on the site if you don't know.

3. For larger models the plugin will work but you may need to wait a 
little while depending on the size of the model.

I'd appreciate people trying it out and trying to break it to see if 
they can uncover any bugs. Note that google sketchup gives free access 
to an online repository of FREE models! Remember to explode them though.

Thanks Again
Alex
