Click on my models link just to the right to see some examples, or take a look at the Acorn House project under Previous Design Adventures over to the lower right. I produced my first significant SketchUp based tutorial to help guide folks who want to get away from the rectangle. The tutorial takes you though the steps to easily and quickly produce a model like this:

The image below shows the whole tutorial with the text labels hidden. They clutter up the model too much if shown at the scale of the image. The SketchUp model containing the tutorial can be downloaded here .
