any reason you chose providence for the demo?

"BOTworld is a Multi-Agent simulation system, predicting the behaviour and movement of pedestrians in urban areas under the influence of different environmental factors (urban layout, sources of traffic, air quality and micro climate)". The very sophisticated software is still free.

The main issue I have encountered is materials. For some reason, SketchUp materials don't come through into Microstation as they well in SKP format as they do in OBJ. It's looking like this may have changed in V8i (I've yet to test it - anyone out there currently using V8i?) and it will be a welcome improvement. Additionally, I'm happy .3DS support will be there, as that is usually the best backup for interoperability. SF-

You're workflow is a good one for SketchUp 7, but for 6 and earlier, I have found it better to just reference and then merge.
