I have 20 years experience working and studying in the architectural field, I have designed dog houses to multi-million dollar homes and commercial buildings. The last 5 years I have focused primarily on 3D modeling. My 3D models are used for design development, marketing, Investor presentations and submittals for plan approval. I have built over 1,000 3D models and I have found SketchUp to be the best tool for the job. I decided to create this course to share some of the methods that I have used and continue to use to quickly model my projects. I look forward to working and hearing back from students who take this course.

Awsome Tut to start kitchen design with sketchup. the only thing is because it does not have a mouse or screen capture sometimes you need little bit more effort. Tnx a million.

Yes! I find his teaching easy to follow and has helped tremendously with Sketchup skills for designing Kitchens. Would love to see more from him.

didnt even start properly of how to lay out a room from scratch, where they are typing the sizes into etc, looks like you need to have experience on this before even doing this course

so far it is what I am looking to get from this course

No da tanta explicación de las herramientas y construcción, si necesitas tener conocimientos básicos, solo vas copiando lo que hace.
By Kasia Hosford on 12/29/2018
It's good info, but not too much. One definitely needs to have a little experience with sketchUp, but having that experience I really appreciate the speed he goes.
By Roberto Cortez on 10/2/2018
These are great explanations. I like also that this course is for a smaller project. Excellent course.
