Hi there,

Is anyone here using the Povray plugin and program for sketchup.   I am a
first time user and are having trouble exporting from sketchup using the
example model provided. It just doesn't seem to want to create the .pov
file..... help.

Try to export in VRML and use Poseray to convert it in Pov-Ray sdl.

PoseRay's VRML support is a bit limited (according to them at least,
http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/poserayhelp.htm#WhattypesofOBJfilescanPoseRayhandle),
so you might want to try DXF or 3DS.
