Here's what I do. I design everything in normal SketchUp then I open up Google SketchupPro (Download here
http://sketchup.google.com/download/gsup.html - You get eight hours of 'modeling', which is really exporting in this case) and export it to a .obj.
Hope this works

Also, it's not the "Model Tool .OBJ" format. Wavefront is the company that created the OBJ format.

I found this website which converts .skp to .obj today. It works, I got a model to go to .bzw after some conversions with Wings3D.

Sketchup Pro 7 has a free trial with like 10 hours of use or whatever, see here ->
http://sketchup.google.com/download/gsup.html
When making stuff in SketchUp, I get it perfect in the free version, open it in the trial, quickly export it, then quit the trial.
This way, I'll almost never run out of usage time

if you dont have the pro version, the free is very well made. i found this site that makes sketchup 7 (i think 7, look at the site) that exports to obj then emails the file when its done. Heres the link:

works well.
