I'll be teaching 2 sessions of SketchUp @ Heartwood this year:

SketchUp for Timberframers (and designers) is scheduled for June 2-4.

Advanced SketchUp for Complex Timber Roofs is scheduled for September 6-7.

If I'd known early enough I was buying a new laptop I'd be there in a heart beat... Can you point me towards some good tutorials on the subject?

Still time to sign up for the advanced section in September, Rafe. It would be good to see you. This section has been going well, Ben Brungraber is here taking the course, with attendant anecdotes from timber framing history, and we've got the earth oven fired up for pizza in an hour.
