SketchUp: Modeling a living space

Learn to design and furnish a 3D room using SketchUp

Visualizing a space before it even exists is the promise of SketchUp. But between the intention and mastering the tool, there is a concrete learning curve. This training guides you step-by-step through the complete modeling of a living space: from learning the interface to the final export, including wall construction, furniture, textures, and views. A practical path to bring your 3D projects to life.

Is it for you ?

This e-learning course is designed for anyone (draughtsmen, technicians, designers, planners, engineers and architects...) wishing to learn SketchUp for personal or professional needs.

Prerequisites

No knowledge of SketchUp is necessary. A minimum of practice with the software can help you progress more quickly.
