Anyway, thanks for doing this. It will be a big help for folks trying different layouts. Me? I'm still in the build it and chuck it mode of learning curve
Tim, I had the same issue until recent time. You could try and check these tutorials out - http://jayscustomcreations.com/sketchup/ and let me know if they helped. I personally learned from them quite good and can model many simple designs that do not involve professional functionality. I would recommend start watching from videos that show basic tools and functionality use and then see how actual models are built. Jay Bates, the website creator, had a formal training in CAD and it shows when he shows how to use Sketchup. I found his videos helped me much better than some random search results on youtube, which is sometimes waste of time. Good luck.
