Autodesk FBX is the way to go Radiance, implenting FBX will open the doors for lots of archvizers and productvizers. Thats my opinion.

hmmmm,
It looks like a close tie between both formats...
It looks like 'autodesk vs sketchup'
I think we might have to do a poll.
I'll see if i can get the poll system working later today.

It does, but I'm not sure about the Free version.
Googles developements are going straight to collada as the main export/import choice.

of the 2 you propose Sketchup free exports only collada.
Sketchup Pro exports obj, collada, fbx.
Its possible Solidworks exports collada 1.4 too - there is a beta plugin.
I am trying this out via Blender atm.

I Vote for Collada, its open. And its Better supportet in XSI,
(because export of uv's in xsi are not working fbx exporter.)
