/diy/ - Do It Yourself

OK, so I'm only 95% sober, but damn, am I stuck.

I keep hearing about people using a program called Sketchup.
I've seen a neat project on Youtube, and I'd like to see the plans.
No problem, I can choose between several formats: Sketchup 2017, Sketchup 2016, Sketchup 2015, Sketchup 2014 and Collada.

OK, so lets got get Sketchup.
Sweet baby Jesus on a pogo stick, this shit is retarded. First, I try to download it, but oh noes, *I'm* not allowed to make any choices! I have to tell them if I'm using it for professional use or not. The answer is "not". Now my only option is to run the web-based version, no downloads for me. I've got NO fricking clue what version of the document to download now.
So I'm in the web app, but it wants to know my user ID and password before I can open a file. I don't have a login, that was never an option.
So I make one, and log in. There's some kind of message saying the account is only good for 72 hours.
Now that I'm logged in, I have a whole new screen, and there's no option to open a file.
Clicking on shit at random, I finally get back to the screen I was on before.
Several non-intuitive steps later, I'm told the file is open, but the screen is just greyed out.
Wait, a good 2-3 minutes later, I've got _something_.
It looks vaguely like the project, and I can select different objects by clicking on them. I can right-click and get some options to modify the component.

But there's absolutely NOTHING here that looks even remotely like plans.
There's no flat view, most components are hiding behind other components, there's no dimensions.

It would probably be easier to produce the plans by watching the youtube video than using this horseshit.

What the fuck am I missing?
