SketchUp for Interior and Architectural Design

About this course

SketchUp is one of the fastest ways to turn an idea into a 3D model. In five days you will learn to model accurately, keep your work organised with groups, components and tags, and build both interior spaces and complete buildings from plans.

You will then dress your models with materials, set up scenes, sections and styles, and export clear images and drawings for clients and colleagues. By the end you will have modelled and presented a full project of your own.

What you'll learn

• Navigate the SketchUp interface and set up templates and units.
• Model accurately using drawing, Push/Pull and inference tools.
• Organise models with groups, components and tags.
• Model interiors from plans, including walls, openings, furniture and joinery.
• Model buildings, roofs and simple site context.
• Apply materials and textures and use the 3D Warehouse.
• Create scenes, sections and styled views for presentation.
• Export images and drawings for clients and colleagues.
