Its really not that difficult to use, and from what I've heard Solidworks has a similar or better learning curve.

Seriously, don't use Sketchup, you will not be happy with your results ifyou do.

Yes, I have been using AutoDesk Inventor, but I can't seem to get things situated in places they need to be. I was hoping that there might have been a easier alternative than that for right now until i try to get situated with learning AutoDesk Inventor.
