Hello, I just want to say that if you can't learn to use MED, and know to use google sketchup, you may try this.

If you don't want to buy Google Sketchup, there is an option:

1. export your model to .KMZ file.
2. (if you want) make backup of it.
3. change extension of it to .ZIP file (make sure that (in explorer) tools->folder options->view->hide extension for known files is unchecked).
4. extract ALL files.
5. open Blender (if you don't have it, install it, you will also need a Phyton 2.5.x, if you have some other version, this will not work).
6. select file->import->collada 1.4 (.dae), find folder where you extracted a ZIP file, and than somewhere there should be a .dae model.
7. export it to 3DS (file->export->3D studio (.3ds))
8. import it in MED, and there you have it, a model made in Google Sketchup.

But it would be easier if you buy it (you may export your model directly to 3DS, and import it in MED).

oh yeah, when you are creating model, watch how a polygons are faced, you wouldn't like to convert them later.

I hope this helped smile.
Thx for reading.

there's also importers nowadays for sketchup native files, in programs like lightwave 3D, 3ds, etc. Can speed things up too.
