The solid tools, which come in the pro version, can collide complex shapes.

The TFRubies, which do not use the solid tools and have to do very specific, sort of arcane tasks the way they function, can only cut 1 face at a time due to the limitations of cutting planes related to SketchUp components (similar to the issue of windows and doors cutting thru both faces of a wall).

I can and have collided complex log shapes with each other to good result.

But, as SketchUp is a surface modeler all things round are approximated via faces - so logs are actually lots of planes. This could pose a problem depending on how detailed your model needs to be, and how accurate the output for a shop drawing you need.
