You need all of the following:

1) Sketchup: http://sketchup.google.com/
2) Plugin: (the plugin's name is google earth 4 sketchup and I am not sure where to download it)
3) S2I: http://www.imvu.com/catalog/devtools/Sk ... up.msi.zip

This only works with {Sketch-Up Pro} (V5.0.260).
^^ This is the version that costs money, and it is an older version.

Google sketchup required settings:
(1) {OPEN GL} (May cause graphic problems.)
In the top menu, goto [WINDOW] and select [PREFERENCES].
Now, goto [OPEN GL] and unselect [USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION].
This fixes those funky broken lines for, (X, Y, Z) Axis lines.

(2) {US/METRIC SCALE} (IMVU uses US, not METRIC)
In the top menu, goto [WINDOW] and select [PREFERENCES].
Now, goto [TEMPLATE] and set to [ARCHITECTURAL - US].
This fixes problems with HUGE items after you export.
This also fixes problems with some misaligned items.

I am still working on this tutorial.

Problems and solutions:

P: All color has disapeared
S: under "Material Parameters" for each texture and make sure that you uncheck "Vertex Colors"

Yes, I have been told that our best bet for meshing on IMVU is to just use a stolen version of 3ds max...as it is extreamly hard to both find the only version of sketchup that works and then configure it...unless you have a friend who owns it and is will to give you a copy of everything.

I placed a version of sketchup that works perfectly when coupled with meshout v0.4.33 in the resources thread. It doesnt take any configuring either, the only awkward part is finding the right location to add your plugins, but i can offer help with that should anyone need it.
