I had been using a 2D program or pencil and paper for so long that I had some kind of mental block being comfortable with SketchUp. I just couldn't "get it", even going through several of the video tutorials. Dave spent some time on the phone with me and that's all I needed.
I had the same experience. I was all but ready to give up when Dave walked me through a couple of things until I hit that "ah-ha" moment. Dave's DVD "SketchUp, Guide for Woodworkers" available through Fine Woodworking Magazine is a real help too. I learned as much watching "how" he did things as I did watching "what" he was doing. My 'time to rough completion' of a drawing is a quarter of what it used to be before watching the DVD about a dozen times .
