I've downloaded from my above post and was not able to extrude from it. The video is "Wheel Pant- Sketchup Artisan Tutorial". I've continued to work on this and I have found that its seems each time I try the extrude only works three or four times and works better extruding behind the image plane than in front of it. Sometimes I click on it and attempt to pull it out, nothing happens, although the numbers in the lower right box increase, then I let off and the icon moves back and it extrudes out the back. I have found by closing and redownloading I sometimes can have enough success with the front extruding and here is what I was able to do today. It's a bit of progress and I'm beginning to feel as if I might be able to get this after all.
