i was expecting drawing plan in sketchup only and developing the same plan in sketchup in that way i would have learned actually using sketchup more better rather than importing autocad plan

It was a great match and also to details. How I wish I had for long to eliminate common mistakes and spend less time.
By Harshavardhan Nallamilli on 7/19/2024
This course on sketchup is a bit dull in the starting as the instructor has made the videos about a topic into each segment such as lines, rectangles, … etc. which can be covered within one video
By Hillary Obuya on 5/31/2024
It was really helpful and satisfying, I aready knew sketchup but I've also learned some tricks and helpful tools
By Arslan Ahmad on 1/25/2024
To cover the basic of Sketchup Its great videos but for professional delivery of project advance topics need to be added.
By MD. Saleh Noor Showrov on 12/6/2023
Should have provided resources of that CAD plan for 3D modelling for practicing. But you did not provide it.
