geez thanks to you guys! being a member of a very active forum like this would really make me hooked up..
thanks a lot admins!
i'll start looking within the links.

hello there guys!

cholzee here, from the philippines.
well, im so glad that after a few minutes of surfing the net, i came across this forum.
this may sound funny but, im really a noob in sketchup and i just have downloaded the app a few minutes ago.

i want to learn how to use this because i know it will be useful in my profession.
by the way, im an architecture graduate. i know how to use autocad but a lot of firms nowadays prefer people who could use 3d modelling applications thats why i wanted to learn.

uhm, im seeking for help actually.
can anyone give me the link where i can find the most basic tutorials like from level 1. or like from drawing lines to 3d modelling to rendering to using finishing materials. i would like to learn sketchup step by step.

thank you guys and God bless you all!
