Course Information

Introduction

This five-day course teaches practical SketchUp skills used on real projects. You will work through modelling, organization, and output workflows applied in architecture, interiors, landscape, and product design. Sessions focus on hands-on exercises: taking 2D plans into accurate 3D models, preparing presentation views, and producing basic construction drawings. The pace suits beginners and those looking to formalize practical SketchUp habits.

Objectives

1. Create accurate 3D models from 2D plans using SketchUp drawing and modification tools.
2. Structure models with groups, components, tags, and the Outliner for predictable edits and collaboration.
3. Apply materials, styles, and scenes to produce presentation-ready views and quick visual variants.
4. Use Layout to generate scaled 2D documentation and export PDFs for client and contractor review.
5. Export and prepare models for common downstream uses (DWG, STL, image exports) and for basic rendering pipelines.

Who Should Attend?

1. Project architects and architectural technologists starting SketchUp workflows.
2. Interior designers producing concept models and client visualizations.
3. Landscape architects and site designers creating quick massing and layout studies.
4. Construction coordinators or CAD technicians responsible for model organization and documentation.
5. Product or furniture designers who need fast 3D prototyping and export for fabrication.
