Welcome to the new Sketchup Forum

[Denki]

since everyone is talking about this sketchup program do any of you know anything about Blender? I used to use it about 2 yrs ago (to be honest was just learning how to use it and it confounded me)and I needed help then. I'm also using it on a linux based comp. If anyone can give me some pointer's I'd be very happy for the help. thnx

Denki,
I have worked with Blender but I can tell you Sketchup is a LOT easier to learn (hours as opposed to weeks). Blender is probably one of the more difficult interfaces to master. If you wish to invest in learning a modelling app, I strongly recommend Sketchup.

Does anyone here know where I can find a decent sketchup tutorial that I can work through to get me started? I downloaded it a little while ago and played around a bit but nothing too sophisticated.
