.xmodel_export or maya extension i think

You can export your model to Maya/Blender with the non-free version of SketchUp.

But the end of file name of models hasn't got a filetype
just export it as .obj-File, thats a standard format.
and maybe your windows hide file-extensions?

The end of COD's xmodels don't have a file extension. But you were talking about a model you did in SketchUp, with the file type .SKP, right? Kung was saying, import that file type into Blender and then export it from there to COD2's EXPORT format. From there, you create your xmodel in Asset Manager.
If you want to reverse the process and export an xmodel, you will have to get any of the 2 community-made XMODEL EXPORTERS (either TomBMX's or Regolith's). That will reduce the xmodel to either .MB or .OBJ file format. From there you will be able to edit it in any 3D program that handles either .MB or .OBJ file formats (eg: Maya, 3DMAX, Blender, etc).

Thank you. I have do .skp -> .kmz -> .zip -> .dae -> .obj -> .xmodel_export. I have now to try with asset manager, it give me a error: xmodel 'c:\programm files../main/xmodelsurfs/drohne1' has no surfaces. I have not understand what i must do. Hmm...
Look at this image:
One Triangle got:
- 3 Vertices
- 3 Edges
- 1 Face
Your model in SketchUp consists of many Triangles/Quads or even primitives with more vertices/edges.
The error sounds like your model got no SURFACES/Faces, so they are maybe not exported to Maya. The reason might be a wrong setting in Export-dialog in SketchUp or Maya.
You can make a few screenshots of your choosen options and of your models, so we can see what you actually did.
