My former workflor was setting a front texture (most of the times it meant keeping the UV texture coming from the imported or external-referenced OBJ), applying a phong shader and setting a 30% opacity.

..maybe some sort of special SU integration should be made to use this fantastic material. I really can't wait to use it, but now it requires too much work :( :( :(
I've introduced a new simplified version of the double-sided thin material for sketchup, called 'simple thin':

I would love to see the main Double Sided Material simplified, creating 3 materials just to use only one is not very workflow friendly.
You also end up with quite a chaos of materials in your scene.

Since front & back material can be only Diffuse or OrenNayar, with the only parameter (besides texture map) to be the sigma, it should be easy to include this settings into the Double Sided Thin material and have a closed compact material!
