    Having used 3dStudio and similar programs in the past, I'm finding myself frustrated with the lack of direct tools and the unpredictability of orientation in SketchUp. It does have some nice features which have kept me trying to learn (e.g., styles, ability to easily create/erase lines/measures etc) - but some of them remain unpredictable to me (e.g., erasing a line sometimes erases the line, sometimes a wall, sometimes half and object...even when the line was a copy and past from one erased successfully in a similar location 30 seconds earlier).

    The line properties are probably my main issue as well. If you don't follow everything very closely and remember things very accurately you might try to erase a line and nothing happens...this is caused by two lines in the same place. Sometimes you'll lose the wall (only one line there) and sometimes you'll erase only part of the line (due to clicking more than two spots to make the original line). The most important thing to pay attention to is the white/blue colors...if you see some diagonal funky blue lines and shapes on a white wall then you've got more than two lines in the same place.

    As for the building, I think it looks great
