I have used almost every graphic design software available over the last 20 years. I hate to say it but I found Sketchup difficult to use at first. Mainly because I had always designed for print, web, or animation. 3-D was a new thing for me. So my only strong suggestion is to take the time to go through the tutorials. Once I had done that it was a breeze. I like being able to see what different woods will look like as design elements.<br />

Well you've certainly have more screen time at Sketchup than I do, but it nice to see some of the things you can do with it. I like your progression - step images.

The pocket hole components I created in sketchup are useful in planning your project as they will be laid out where the holes would be on your stock. You'll see if the hole will be too close to an edge or if it would cut out of the edge, and rethink your plans. Once you use the plans with cutlist, it will tally all of the holes too so you could know how many of each screw type to use, besides it calculating your boards you need.<br />
