Good find on the exporter Bill...just wish it had been a bit sooner -
I kept coming across building and skyline models for google sketchup
which would've been great for my "Day After Tomorrow" render, but the
problem was not being able to export as obj. Should prove useful for
the future though - cheers.

Going to the Crossroads link produced a 404 error page not found
(Bummer)
A further look on the net produced this little "shareware gem"
http://web.axelero.hu/karpo/ $50.oo US ,$40.oo Euro I downloaded it
and gave it a spin Grabed a 3Ds model on the net and tryed it out
Wasnt able to save, but looks like it does convert to .obj when
registerd :( options options options )
