Google sketchup :- tips?

[jonnywells]

Im starting to use sketchup to plan my living room setup and not having a great time

Spent a couple hours mucking about but still not really got anywhere.

Anyone got any tips on how best to use it? Also if anyone can upload there sketch design's so i can have a play that would be great

Also try importing some models from the warehouse and exploding them so you can see how other people have built them.
