Description
Do you want to design your own furniture on the PC in an effective way? Do you want to plan your new kitchen or redesign your apartment and visualize it immediately in 3D? Or just creatively express yourself in 3D?
Then SketchUp is exactly the right program for you. SketchUp is an intuitive, powerful 3D modeling software built for professionals and creatives of all kinds. With no other software can you build impressive 3D models so quickly, which immediately convey a spatial effect of your project. The advantages of SketchUp:
there is a free, web-based version
it’s probably the easiest of all CAD programs to use
you are instantly in 3D
you can do very quick rough sketching or professional, accurate, detail rich objects
there is a huge library of pre-built 3D-models
from tiny details, to your own garden to the whole building – there is nothing you can’t visualise
How is this course structured?
In this 4-hour course you will learn how SketchUp works and how to use the most important tools. Using real examples, you will become confident step by step in using line, rectangle, circle and the push/pull tool. We will learn how to work with groups and components, we will take a look at the practical model library, use various special tools and learn how to present and visualize our projects in an appealing way. Ultimately, the course should get you ready to implement your own ideas in SketchUp and bring them to life.
To make sure you don’t get bored and see results right away, everything is based on learning by doing – so we won’t spend a lot of time on theory, but will always draw real objects directly. This is project-based learning, starting from a simple box, to a desk, staircase, a complete interior situation and more. This way you learn to approach the sketching process in a wholistic way and always apply new knowledge directly to enhance your learning experience.
What do you need?
Not much! With the following tools you can start 3D modeling right away:
a PC or Mac
a computer mouse with clickable mouse wheel (you can also use the trackpad but with the mouse it will be faster)
nice to have: a large screen
