From SketchUp to SimCity 4

Another milestone on the way to mirror world - virtual world convergence: On the SketchUp Pro user forum, "starrdarcy" shows us how to turn SketchUp models into SimCity 4 models. The only hiccup: You need to first export your SketchUp model as a 3DS file, and that's not something the free version of SketchUp does. (Are there free/cheap third-party converters out there?) Also, there is still some tweaking to do to get from before to after — it's not push-button yet. But the resulting eye candy is glorious:
