I love Sketchup. it's my main 3D app now mainly because it's easy to use yet hugely powerful.

i like skechup a lot (never could master an other 3d prog on my own before) - many possibilities and very easy to learn! there also is a community from where you can get lots of great plugins, either for free or for a minimal amount.

How about free tutorials for a beginner and not the advanced or intermediate tutorials like at go-2-schools Sketchup Show?

as i hate help files and tutorials i did not look at many of them. taught myself and got the basics in a day. there are a lot of tutorials around, don't know about all of them but the few i saw - some of the go-2-school ones and a few on youtube were good.

the forum kaibach mentioned is a good start - friendly and helpful people and a lot of knowledge there. then there is the 'daily catchup' site with news and links to plugins etc.:

Attached Link: No more CAD file import in FREE version
This isn't good news for Sketchup users who like to import cad files into Sketchup....They are reporting the free version will no longer allow importing of cad files.....
