Default Sketchup Question

I am looking with interest at the sketchup posts. I have a project brewing
that I will need to design. It is a metal and wood circular workstation.
The design is not that difficult. It will be in sections and will be bolted
together. A lot of components will be attached to it. But those are not a
part of the basic design of what needs to be designed/built.

My questions are as follows.

Can a 3D model be drawn that would show the circular design?

Particularly, can the compnent parts be shown in different perspctives
around that circle? In other words, can I take a common component and show
it at six different angles to simulate how they would look really look in
this circular configuration?

I need to draw a circular wood keyboard bench that will attach to the metal
frame. Could this be drawn easily? And can it be "attached" to the metal
frame drawing?

This whole component model of constructing a drawing will be a whole
different experiece for me. I will give a shot and see how I do.

The design is not that difficult. It is similar to other things I have
built. What I need is a good 3D representation to sell it to the folks who
will pay for it. Any thoughts, etc would be appreciated.
