2 SketchUp - Beginner Our one-day SketchUp design courses will give you all the skills you need to move quickly from idea to 3D design. The objective of our courses is to train you how to draw effectively with SketchUp. We combine essential drawing skills with a bit of creative flare as we produce functional designs. We will go over the key modelling and editing tools within SketchUp. We will also cover the little tricks of the trade so that you will become competent. Everything that you so will be hands-on We use a and by the end of your first day with us, you will be confident in creating 3D models of anything imaginable. Upon successful completion of our SketchUp courses you will be able to: Understand design best practices Create geometries in both 2D and 3D Generate and connect different forms Render your designs in 3D The outcome of our training sessions is that you will be able to create both simple and complex 3D designs. SketchUp interface and optimisation Setting a more powerful workspace Navigation, view and camera options Keyboard shortcuts for productivity How SketchUp looks at the world Creating 2D geometry inside the SketchUp environment Creating exact geometry with measurements Simple and powerful approaches using the line tool Working with constraints Getting SketchUp to help us with the inference system Creating 3D geometry in different ways Using pushpull to model in 3D Other key tools for 3D models Deforming shapes while being accurate Looking at how groups are essential in a variety of ways Creating, editing and exploding groups Copying and positioning Looking at copying (array) techniques The difference between groups and components Using clones to speed up various workflows Using the built-in materials to colour and texture a model The efficient use of ready-made 3D models to populate a model

3 SketchUp - Intermediate This one-day Intermediate course is a great session for delegates that know how to use SketchUp, but who now want to learn about all of the powerful drawing tools within the software. We will help you understand how to use SketchUP to create powerful 3D designs that can be used for many different design projects. We will show you how to work within the work area, understanding 2D and 3D geometry, rendering, and how to bring your ideas to life. Understand design best practices Create geometry in both 2D and 3D Generate and connect forms Render your designs Handle complex 3D designs Model curves and complex geometries Optimise and organise your designs Interface with other software Our objective of the session is to show you how to unlock the full potential of SketchUp and to become a confident designer. SketchUp interface and optimisation How SketchUp looks at the world Drawing lines Working with constraints Creating 3D geometry in different ways Modifications and accuracy Groups Copying and positioning Components Basic materials 3D warehouse Advanced strategies Working with imagery Tracing drawings Texture and materials Photomatch Printing and output Overview of advanced topics

4 SketchUp - Advance This one-day Advanced course will help to develop your skills as you explore the advanced features of SketchUp. The course has two principal components: Developing Advanced modelling techniques: deal with curves, difficult geometry, and advanced modelling</li> Organising the model environment: this will focus on handling large models and complex structures through the groups, components and layers Handle complex 3D designs Model curves Use extensions Optimise and organise your designs Interface with other software Our objective is for you to understand the advanced features of SketchUp and for you to improve the performance and organisation of your designs. Complex modelling Creating difficult to draw objects Working with curved shapes Intersecting geometry Advanced strategies Cross sections Planning your approach for big design projects Best practice for landscape, interior and architecture projects Working with imagery SketchUp's powerful way of using images and photos Setting styles and backgrounds Tracing drawings Reference and exploit scanned drawings and other files such as CAD Texture and materials How to colour the model using the built-in library Use of custom images and textures on models How to edit and adjust model textures Photomatch Using Photomatch to create 3D models from photographs Printing and output Exploring ways to present 3D models using various techniques Overview of advanced topics Photorealistic and art rendering Layout Extensions/plugins

5 SketchUp Professional This one-day professional course gives experienced SketchUp users the techniques necessary to produce expert-level designs to a professional level. During the day, you will use a range of advanced plug-ins that are used to enhance designs. You will learn how to present SketchUp designs, work with other software tools to import/export, model curves, and apply rendering techniques. Activate specialist graphics plug-ins Model complex curved forms Design presentations with SketchUp layout Apply rendering techniques to show textures and effects Our objective is for you to use SketchUp professionally and to be able to work confidently with all of the design features. Enhanced functionality with specialist plug-ins Complex forms modelling to produce curved features How to design presentations with SketchUp layout Technical drawings in SketchUp Advanced SketchUp and rendering techniques Maximising styles Cameras Textures and effects Introduction photo-rendering Who is this course for? This course is intended for experienced SketchUp users, and is ideal for graphic designers, architects, engineers, interior designs and creative professionals.
