Unity 6 ProBuilder Tutorial - Installation, Basics, and Blockout

I've used ProBuilder a bunch over the last 5 years, so I thought I would make a longform ProBuilder tutorial for complete beginners. I want to emulate the feeling of being in an office and peeking at someone's screen over their shoulder - what are they doing, how do they do that, etc. So, the video is LONG and a little meandering, but I cover a bunch of topics and show myself actually using the tool in the way I use it. It's all timestamped/chapter'd up, so hopefully you can find what you need and it's helpful enough :) If you already have it installed and know Unity basics, maybe skip through to the example builds halfway through the vid (52:07) This vid is purely tools - I would like to do a broader vid about blockout and level design process in general. I could also do more focused vids on individual tool features. I'm learning Godot at the moment as well, maybe when I'm a bit more confident there I can do some equivalent stuff. I dunno, if you have any suggestions or requests let me know.
