Description
The main objective of the SketchUp course is to allow new students to learn by understanding the fundamental aspects of the software in order to carry out engineering models and architectural projects.It will start with the user interface for both Windows and Mac has a greater focus on windows due to the few differences between the two without leaving aside what is important to learn from SketchUp regardless of the interface. For this reason, it will also cover how a user can change the interface and other aspects of SketchUp.Then it will continue with the drawing and modeling of objects or elements created in SketchUp from the simplest to some more complex while using different tools and methods that will be covered during the course as the theoretical lessons progress. This Course will also be cover how these objects or elements are organized in the SketchUp files through an architectural model created with references provided in the course. And it will also cover how the different models created in SketchUp can be documented through the rest of the software installed together with SketchUp Pro, so it will be covered in the course how a model is prepared for Layout and how you can take advantage of the Style Builder to present and document a model or project, as well as how to present a SketchUp File using Layout.What will the course include:Theoretical LessonsSeveral Examples.Various Exercises.Tips and Recommendations.An Architectural Exercise.

This course is aimed at students who want to start modeling their architectural designs or engineers who want to start being able to visualize their mechanical or even industrial models without the need to learn a software with multiple options to do the same or having to perform calculations related to the models.,Also to professionals who want to see if there are differences in the new versions of sketchup or who want to see if there is something they are interested in learning about sketchup.
