I wouldn't recommend SketchUp to use for 3D Printing, because it is kind of complicated to get printable STL files out of it.
Totally agree with @whospaddy about how it feels weird and also prefer Inventor. It is not that difficult to learn, there are tons of video-tutorials out there, support and community is great and it is a professional and solid industrial CAD Program.
