Hey, if you guys can do a podcast or forum post on layers. I know how layers work, but to be proficient and discipline at it is a different matter...
Also, I've been building some houses in sketchup and can't figure out how to use the walkthru tool to "walkthru" the inside of the house. The camera starts doing all sorts of crazy things when I try.
Any help in a podcast or here on the forum would be great!

We will add both Layers and Walkthrough to the podcast wishlist.
In the meantime, try this for the Walkthrough tools: Position Camera, Walk tool, and Look Around tool...
*Take the Position camera tool and click once on the place where you want to set down the camera (think of it as where you would set the person who was going to do the walking and looking
*The view will fly to the eye height of the theoretical person. Next, take the Walk Tool... click and hold down on the mouse button, then move the mouse up, down, left or right to walk in those directions (it's like a video game joystick at this point).
*Finally, select the Look Around tool and click and hold the mouse button, then move the mouse in different directions to pivot the camera (or person's head) in the direction you want to look.
These are the basic uses of the tools. However, there are some tips and tricks that are better if we try to show them in a podcast - we'll try to do that soon!

Alright - we have a podcast up that deals with the Camera Tools (or the Walk-through capabilities you mentioned here).
Take a look at Episode #12 (65MB).
