By Daniel Shkyndia on 11/25/2025

I think that this is the best practice and not only – course for SketchUp in all the Udemiy platform. The best for interior. So much practice, and so easy to understand. Full information, nothing hidden. And really wery good explanation! Now i will start the Exterior design course of this author. Because, for SketchUp i didn't saw nothing better in Udemy.

By Trevor Shawaga on 11/19/2025

Way too much repetition and long drawn out explanations on subjects that are to be covered later. Keep them to intros not specifics. Shortcuts are not consistant...ie used F2 or Cntl 2. Can be confusing when you flip flop the use of shortcuts. Also, 2026 is out and most lectures are outdated.

By Sanchan Valse on 3/31/2025

I was stuck after learning the basics and didn’t know where or how to start with advanced learning. When I found your course on Udemy, it was perfect! I love the way you teach, and most importantly, the way you explain details—this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the Q&A solutions as well; I’ve learned a lot from them too. You are a fantastic teacher! Honestly, a big thanks from me. Love you!

By Caroline Velho on 10/10/2024

I recently completed a Sketchup course, and it was really helpful. The lessons were clear and easy to follow, even for beginners. The instructor explained every step well, making it simple to create 3D models. I liked how practical the exercises were, which helped me understand the tools better. By the end of the course, I felt more confident using Sketchup. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn 3D modelling quickly.

By Wisdom Onumonu on 3/19/2023

My personal experience taking this course was very positive. I found the curriculum to be engaging and the topics to be relevant to my career. It was a great match for me because the course provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed to further my career. I found the course to be very helpful and I gained a lot of valuable insights that have helped me in my professional life.

By kirithiga S on 12/30/2021

It was a great and a useful course. I have learnt of new things in this course from minute details like using basic tools, shortcuts to major techniques, cool plugins and learning in detail about v-ray settings & materials and post production taking the renders to next levels. one change that could have been done is the order of the sections, i took the course in the same order it was presented, it would have been easier if u have swapped the sections-2 and 4 ie. the chick bedroom & the contemporary bedroom sections, because i felt it slightly difficult to understand vray 5 settings and use of different plugins in the very first section after the basics compared to this the latter was much easy.

By Deepti Maithil on 6/17/2021

It has made for very fruitful learning. The course is very detailed yet user friendly as it is segregated into smaller portions which makes it easy to follow. It is commendable how Manish extends himself to clear doubts no matter how small or repetitive it might be. Wishing great success in all your endeavors. Cheers!

By James Leese on 11/21/2020

While my focus is on V-Ray, I still enjoy watching all of the tutorial as some of the plugins are new to me.

By Liviu Avram on 11/14/2020
