Ugh, I hate Blender. I hear a lot of good things about it, but it has one of the worst user interfaces I have ever seen. It's like being transported back to the 80's when your computer had a C:> prompt and you had to know what to type to get it to do anything. Maybe if I could find some good tutorials, I'd change my mind.

Dan,
Your model did look a little weird to me. Did you move individual vertices around to get that shape? Try making an object by simply combining a few primitives like a cylinder and some cubes. Add your textures. Don't move any edges or vertices and then save the KMZ. Unzip it and try to import that Collada. I have had good luck with Sketchup collada files. I can send you one that I know will import correctly if you need it.

Thanks,
Andy
