User's Maunual Says:
"Google SketchUp Pro is available to purchase at http://sketchup.google.com/gsu6/buy.html. You need Google SketchUp Pro if you want to:

* Export models in 3DS, DWG, DXF, OBJ, XSI, VRML, and FBX file formats"

What options to currently have for exporting?

Try UV mapping with a different program. I use Lithunwrap.

could someone privide a step by step of how to do the texturing from exported file formats from .skp to whatever is needed and then finally get to .atm with textures all there.

I don't think we can do anything for you until the file is in .3ds format.

E-mail the model in .3ds format to Jayecifer@aim.com I will UVmap it and send it you back the model, the UVmap, possibly textures, a freeware UVmapping program, and maybe some basic instruction/tips.

It should go exactly the same as every other model.
