I strongly recommend you to register to blenderartists.org if not done already.
with some similar name, I guess, so to find you as a friend there.
I also recommend you to learn the nodes set up system of cycles. An excellent UI with almost endless possible solutions. Very easy to handle it, after watching some basic setups.
Blender isn't sketchUp. But, it does huge steps to this direction, day by day. On the other hand it's much more powerful on organic modeling.
Blender isn't just another modeler, either. It's much more. A powerful app that is developing rapidly.
And still, we can use SU for archi-modeling and export excellent obj files to blender. Textures and UVs included. Thanks to TIG

You may need some other tools, we had a discussion here:

I enjoyed the making of a snow scene. Though not for cycles*, still very enlightening on how to use weight painting.
*can be done in cycles, masks (stencils) have to be handled as 'factors'. lol, learn cycles nodes!

About shortcuts and inputs:
Under user preferences, find them there, it's easier.
Have a look how my setup looks.
