Great tutorial. I was feeling intimidated by sketchup, but now I see it's not as imposing as I thought.

When will we see more lessons, and is there any way to subscribe such as youtube?

Thanks

Walt

I would start with the make then move up later for more features again it all depends on what you are going to use it for. In my case I am going to be doing 3d printing.

I am using Sketchup 8 on windows 7 trying to make an 8 sided circle. I can not change the number of sides... I can not alter anything on the lower right bar as shown on any of the videos. What is it that I'm doing wrong? Is this the right program?
