If you already have it downloaded, click 'Help' on the top right, then scroll down to 'self-paced' and 'video' tutorials. Also try the 'Learning Center' found in the 'Help' menu.

Thanks blip. However, many of them are too advanced for my level so if you you know a specific one for beginners will be helpful for me.

sketchup is NOT an advanced tool, just use it, that's your best tutorial.

agreed. sketchup is fairly dumbed down. Just use it in connection with the Help feature if you get stuck. What exactly are you trying to do?

Actually, Sketchup can handle a lot more that these commentators give it credit. The best tutorials are here:

no one is saying sketchup can't handle a lot more, i love the tool, but the fact of the matter is that the attractiveness of this tool is its simplicity.
