Hello all,
I'm brand new to Sketchup, and it sure sounds like a lot of you are doing amazing stuff.
Well...I'm a little slow to learn this stuff. Anyone have advice for just getting started? A best book, or tutorial, or just put on the coffee pot and get in there?
If I missed a similar thread, my apologies.
Thanks in advance!
Zach

Sketchup for Dummies is both an excellent reference and step-by-step tutorial. CB.

Thanks, guys. Good suggestions, I'll go with both routes.
I imagine it's a little like teaching an old dog new tricks: it just takes a little longer.
Hmm... Maybe I need to reward myself with a beer when I learn a few new tricks.

Here is a quick video that goes into how sketchup is organized:

Thanks, Mark.
I'm really impressed with Aiden Chopra's videos.
I've been going through them as I wait for his book.
I'm pleasantly surprised how easy Sketchup is to learn on the basics level.
