Hey guys-stupid question-how do you make a wall and a bridge in sketchup?

For walls...

1. draw the wall
2. use the offset tool to get the curves right, I usually put the other line about half a meter away
3. connect the curves and close the ends
4. use the lifting tool


For (very simple) bridges...

1. Draw 2 boxes
2. Draw lines straight up in the corners closest to each other between the boxes
3. Connect the parts that go up with each other
4. Make the slopes by drawing lines from the top to the bottom


This is the simplest way. I think.

This is exactly what I do as well.

That pretty much covers it, remember though that there is the Sketchup tutorial thread available. You can place questions there, and users can post a "how to" complete with screen shots where required.
