I’m looking for a link to download the basic (and beyond) instruction videos to use offline? Has anyone come across one?
I can’t offer help about offline videos…
But your “vision” about the “wood” just amazed me…
If I ever go to Canada, I’ll definitely find you. 
Can you be more specific as to which ‘instructional videos’ you are referring to? It is quite likely that most videos (like our SketchUp Campus ones) were intentionally designed not to allow downloads.
thank you for your reply, I am just working through the sketchup fundamental, and am sure there is more to follow. All of that would be nice to have on a hard drive as I spend the winter in a remote lodge with very poor sat wifi.
thank you for the kind words dezmo
