Hi! Sorry for late response.
First, I confirm that all of this works for Windows 10 Sketchup2017 if any such
feedback was even needed.

Then, the remarks in order of importance:

* 1 ISSUE: Visual clues to where any user action is possible are off :
    Users see an extension menu about this, but it only shows copyright.
    Then they go to standard Sketchup export options but it's not there.
    (could'nt it appear under the other listed file extensions, under 3D Model?
    ...Same for import, instead of having separate export)
* QUESTIONs:

    1)Why did you choose mesh instead of mesh2 syntax, which is supposed to
parse faster for POV, was the opposite actually true in your tests? or did you
prefer to go for simplicity?

    2)Did you try SU2POV 3.5, Didier Bur 's extension? ...which actually seems
to do a little more? like interfacing render launch... camera, etc.
