Mary,
The Collada plugin that you downloaded from my site is one of those with special instructions listed by the creator. If you look at the page where you downloaded the zip file you will see where I say to put the files...
I guess I should add a readme file in the zip.
I will add a post about plug-ins in the development forum about this. If optigon or puzzledpaul want to sticky it they can. May or may not happen today.
The .erl file is actually the source code file that you do not need unless you plan to modify the plug-in and recompile it.
Wings3D comes with collada support. The one on my site has added the ability to set units. If you want to use that one, follow my instructions on the download site. Since you used the File > Install plug-in method, you may find the collada.beam file located in the plug-ins folder of Wings3D. If you have problems you will need to delete that one. You may be okay because I think Wings3D uses the first one it finds and the original one is lower down in the folders.... I hope this makes sense.
YafaRay is for rendering images. If I remember right, Sketchup used export image and you chose the image format. It has been a few years since I played with Sketchup...
