Are you TIRED of trying to find the right tutorials online to learn SketchUp?
Trying to learn SketchUp on your own can leave you frustrated and overwhelmed. Free online tutorials can be great, but they often suffer from some of the following issues:
- Lack of Structure - the material is difficult to follow or doesn't get to the point
- Poor Video/Audio Quality - tutorials can be difficult to follow or understand
- Outdated Information - SketchUp has been available to the public for years, and online tutorials aren't always updated
- No Support or Feedback - If you get stuck, there's no one there to help you get back on the right track
That's why I created The SketchUp Essentials Course!
In my step by step system, you'll learn EVERYTHING you need to know to confidently use SketchUp to create your designs both for 3D visualization and 2D documentation!
How does my step by step SketchUp system work?
The SketchUp Fundamentals
The fundamentals section provides a step-by-step guide to SketchUp's essential tools and features, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to create basic 3D models quickly and easily.
By the end of this section, you'll be able to create your own 3D models confidently and efficiently, laying the foundation for more advanced modeling and design techniques later in the course.
Modeling for 3D and Layout
Many people get stuck on how to create their 3D models in a way that will also allow them to send those models to Layout to generate 2D plans.
In this in-depth section, I'll take you through start to finish how to create a model in SketchUp that's properly organized, set up for easy changes, and ready for document creation in Layout!
Create Architectural Plans in Layout
In this section, I'll take you through the entire process of creating architectural plans from your model, including importing your model into Layout, creating plan sheets, and adding annotations and dimensions.
You'll also learn how to add your own personal touches, such as logos or branding elements, to make your plans stand out. By the end of this section, you'll have the skills and confidence to create professional-level architectural plans that will impress your clients and colleagues alike!
