3D Modeling and Technical Drawing with SketchUp and LayOut

Translating your creative design ideas into precise 3D models and professional technical documentation is a vital skill for any designer, architect, or engineer. This text-based course teaches you how to master the dual power of SketchUp and LayOut from the ground up. You will transition from navigating the basic interface to organizing complex 3D scenes and generating polished, scale-accurate 2D presentation documents ready for clients or construction. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational principles of 3D space, navigation, and core modeling tools. - Organize your models efficiently using modern tag structures, groups, and components to ensure smooth performance. - Create detailed architectural elements, custom furniture, and interior spaces. - Generate professional 2D technical drawings, floor plans, and sections by linking your model to LayOut. - Apply precise dimensions, annotations, and scale settings to your documentation. - Implement clean rendering styles and export configurations for high-quality presentations. The course begins with essential terminology and interface basics before guiding you through structured modeling exercises. You will then learn how to seamlessly transition your 3D assets into LayOut to build structured, professional document sets. Designed for beginners, students, and design professionals looking to establish a reliable, modern drafting workflow, this course requires no prior CAD or 3D modeling experience.
