SketchUp 3D Modeling: Design, Furniture, and LayOut Detailing

Bringing your design ideas to life requires a solid foundation in 3D modeling. Whether you want to design custom furniture or plan architectural spaces, mastering the fundamentals of spatial design is the first step toward professional success. This text-based course guides you through the core principles of SketchUp, helping you transition from basic geometric shapes to detailed 3D models and technical documentation. You will develop a structured modeling workflow, ensuring your designs are organized, scalable, and ready for real-world application. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational interface, navigation tools, and essential drawing environment settings. - Create precise 3D models of objects, architectural elements, and custom furniture pieces. - Organize your projects efficiently using modern group, component, and tag systems. - Apply materials, textures, and lighting concepts to prepare your models for rendering. - Generate professional 2D technical drawings and documentation using the LayOut tool. - Explore modern cloud collaboration workflows to share and review designs with team members. The course begins with essential terminology and interface setup before moving into step-by-step modeling exercises. You will progress from simple shapes to complex furniture assemblies and final document generation. This course is designed for beginners, aspiring interior designers, woodworkers, and architects with no prior 3D modeling experience.
