Anyone wanting to understand this important tool especially should you want to do 3D printing, Look at This for a Sketchup understanding.

Good tool even if you don't plan 3D printing.

Hope this helps

Excellent video series gcmartin, thank you for the reference.
I've found many good SketchUp 'how to' videos on the web.
Google is quick to Google Google products. lol! (actually, Google doesn't own Sketchup anymore, but the references on the web often refer to 'Google Sketchup'.)

I'm now running SketchUp Make (the free download from Trimble) in WINE 1.4 via Puppy 5.7.1.
The machine has 3GB of RAM and a not so fast processor.
SketchUp Make is running fine, a little jerky at times probably because of the processor, but otherwise ok.
I've imported a .jpg photo from Google Earth as a test model.
The goal is to make a 3D model from the photo.
All is looking good.
