This introductory SketchUp course is perfect for someone brand new to the 3D modeling software or someone looking to brush up on the foundation principles.
In this course you’ll find everything you need to know about getting started in SketchUp. The lessons and tools you learn in this course will be the foundation and building blocks you need for whatever you want to use this 3D modeling software for in the future. That means whether you’re looking to use SketchUp to build models of homes and interiors like I do, or you want to design your own furniture to build, or create detailed characters, or anything else you can imagine, this course will give you the basics necessary to build on and expand that knowledge and skill set.
We’ll touch on all the standard principal, drawing, editing, and construction tools. This first class is all about the foundations you need to work quickly and efficiently no matter what you choose to use the software for. I’m sharing my experience learned through years of building models of homes and interiors to help you save time figuring out all the tips, tricks, and shortcuts to make your modeling process easier and more organized.
Course Objectives:
- Become familiar with Welcome Screen & using a Template
- Become familiar with the overall user interface & tool locations
- Work our way through all the toolbars to become familiar with navigating through a model, drawing and modifying elements, and adding materials
