To export from Modo 301/302 you will need to use the following exporter (linked below) which is a modified version of an existing exporter originally written by Richard Rodriguez and Zoltan Erdokovy (http://forums.luxology.com/discussion/topic.aspx?id=22048&show=Collada%20exporter).

For exporting from Modo make sure your mesh is collapsed and triangulated (and all patches/splines etc are frozen). UV maps/channels must named UV01, UV02, UV03 and so on to be exported.
You will need to setup your Lightwave I/O content directory from preferences, the output path will be the location your new DAE files will be saved. Make sure your mesh layer is selected, using F6 browse & execute collada_exporter_horde.lua.
After exporting at the moment you will need to edit and manually add the texture tags to your material files - <TexUnit unit="0" map="wood01.png" />
Export Scale
Your model size is defined using Game Units ratio found in Modo's preferences. If your using more than one art package (for example 3D Sutido Max) I would recommend setting both to a Game Unit of 1 per meter.
