What You Will Learn?

  • Kitchen, apartment or tiny house - Plan, develop and visualize your home ideas in SketchUp!Do you want to easily redesign your apartment, plan your kitchen or build your dream house? Then this course is for you: Using SketchUp Free, the web-based and free version of the popular 3D modeling tool, we will work on the spatial representation of a realistic living situation in just 1.5 hours.This is not a complete SketchUp course, but a comprehensive exercise to get to know how to work quickly with the simple CAD program on a concrete example, so that you can start your own projects with it.Instead of a lot of theory, we will start immediately with a practical approach and import an existing floor plan as a template (you are also welcome to work with your own floor plan) and bring it to the right scale. On top of that we will build our 2D plan, including furniture, dimensions and labels. We will also work with tags to bring order and clarity to the plan.From the finished 2D plan, we'll move on to building our 3D model. Here we will mainly practice working quickly in SketchUp: How we build different layers in minutes, from the walls to the furniture, and how you can save yourself a lot of work with the pre-built models from the 3D library and customize them as you like. Last but not least, you want the model to look good: You'll learn how to use colors and textures, and different ways to make your model look appealing in different styles.This course is for you if you have little or no SketchUp knowledge and want to get some hands-on practice with floor plans and modeling.What are the benefits of SketchUp?No other software allows you to build impressive 3D models so quickly that instantly convey the spatial impact 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 immediately in 3D and see your results.
  • - There is a huge library of pre-built 3D models.
  • - you can do a lot with it - nothing you can't design with it!.
  • What do you need?Not much! With the following tools you can start 3D modeling right away:- a computer mouse with clickable mouse wheel (trackpad works too, but mouse is easier and faster ;)- not a must, but handy: a big screenHave fun ;-).
