SketchUp

Is there a SketchUp tutorial aimed at pencil-spinners (we were taught to rotate the drafting pencil/lead holder in drafting class)?

Coming at the program from a paper drafting background, I'm a little embarassed to say I just don't "get" the SU interface, even though I have a good computing foundation. Apparently, there's something fundamental about the application's paradigm that I've missed somehow.

There are many, many tutorials on YouTube at all levels of difficulty. Simply searching on "sketchup" will get you started. Google also has tutorials available on their Sketchup web site. And there are a number of books you can find on Amazon to help you learn. "Google Sketchup: The Missing Manual" is one good one.
