I found out it pays to take the time to go through their tutorials, they are pretty good. Trying to just ‘figure it out’ (my preferred style of learning new stuff) will be an exercise in frustration, as many here can attest to. If you have previous CAD experience you will find SU frustrating, just accept that it is different from a CAD and the learning will go much easier. I used to do a lot of AutoCAD work (even taught it for a while) and once I accepted that SU was NOT LIKE CAD I made much faster progress ;-)

I wish you success on learning it!
