SketchUp Training & Certification Course

Introduction
SketchUp is a 3D design software developed by Google. It makes 3D modelling possible for everyone. SketchUp is used for a wide range of 3D modelling projects, like architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, and video game design. It has a set of robust toolsets and also supports third-party plugins. This means one can create visuals, animations, and models using images and architectural drawings from AutoCAD, PDF, Revit, and so on.
Scope of courses
The course covers the basics of SketchUp and takes you through the design tasks involved in architectural visualisation and landscape design. You will learn advanced uses of SketchUp, not only in creating architectural computer graphics or modelling architectural structures, but also in creating technical documents.
