This is the exact pipeline I use! Works really well for me as Sketchup is so much more intuitive than the other 3D modellers, yay for inferences! Once you've got a few plugins installed it's really quite powerful and versatile.
...And you can do some nice renders in Kerkythea as a bonus!!
The Kerkythea exporter for Sketchup was originally partly based on my Ogre3D exporter for Sketchup from many years ago. :)
Sketchup is cool. I find the standard camera control to be pretty much horrible, but when you add a 3D Connexion controller it becomes one of the best camera systems. It's one of the few 3d programs that allows full camera movement while using other tools (such as orbiting the camera around a model while dragging faces). If you do a lot of Sketchup work, a Space Navigator or similar is amazing, I can't bare to go without now.
