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.

It helped to explore the software very well as well as it was very easy to follow. Great for beginners

This was a clear and concise intro to the tools and techniques of sketchup. Really enjoyed it, thanks.

It was a great experience and got great knowledge for a fresher like me. I admire the part you taught me tips & tricks to work-out the model with the mouse. But it would be better for me if I got to know more about camera views & positions and walk-throughs.

Awesome... Thank you... In detail course, that's what is needed for beginners...

I'm finding the instructor fumbles with his words a bit. It's also frustrating that this course is for 2018 and I'm working with the SketchUp Pro trial for an up to date version. The tools are all in a different place then the tutorial shows, and so far, I can't find a few of the tools discussed. Other than that, I now know a lot more then I did before taking this course.

This course is very good as a very first step using skethup. You should know that it is a very basic course.
By Anonymized User on 8/22/2019
Nice clear explanations. Quick introduction to sketchup. The one issue is that this course is a little bit too basic. To be honest I expected it to be more advanced.
By Phumi Maelane on 7/17/2019
I'm doing a course sketchup for Interior designers and I was feeling bit overwhelmed I now feel more confident and I will be able to finish my course sooner Thanks.

Very informational. The only question I have is how to set up the default tray on the right side of the screen.
