Introduction to Architectural SketchUp Software Course

3Ds Max training is considered the first step of a successful career today because almost every workplace requires good 3Ds Max knowledge from candidates. 3Ds Max allows for maximum customization in its interface. So it is possible to arrange 3Ds Max precisely according to what you need. A program with many tools and also has such a free workspace is hardly find feature.

3Ds Max reveals very high-quality work at the rendering stage. Working with the V-ray, 3Ds Max is one of the best in the world in rendering. 

SketchUp is a necessary modeling program that is critical in architectural and interior architecture education. The reason why it is preferred among modeling programs is that it is easy to learn. This feature saves a lot of time; when you learn SketchUp, you will easily make 3D models of your projects.

The SketchUp program is a straightforward program with Layout and Style Builder additional programs and a rich program with plugins. It is for producing models quickly on plans, sections, and views transferred from the programs used in 2D drawing that are used in offices related to architecture. It is compatible with most programs in the industry and highly preferred because it is straightforward and easy to learn. You will also need it throughout your university life and will be at the top of the skills you will add to your portfolio in your business life. SketchUp program is used in most of the architecture and interior architecture offices in the world.

On the BackStudio Milan platform, you will learn SketchUp by drawing the plans, sections, views, model, and environment of a project, and you will have produced a project for your portfolio. You will learn and use the SketchUp program in the best way for interior design and architectural education when you finish the course.

Project 1: House Project (with its topography, environment)
Project 2: Suggestion from the tutor (project design ideas inspired by the famous architects’ buildings)
Project 3: Improving your existing project
Project 4: According to the student’s interest (from some resources such as archidaily and divisare)

You will learn how to use the SketchUp program in architecture and interior architecture in a much more effective way to learn the plans, sections, views, model, and environment of a house project you have chosen. Instead of learning SketchUp as a technical drawing course, we aim to teach you more qualified and useful tools, shortcuts, and tricks in your school or business life. We provide this course with our qualified architect tutors working in our organization by contributing to your architectural life.

High school students who are planning to study architecture or interior design Undergraduate students who are currently studying architecture or interior design Architecture/ interior design students who need a new project for their portfolio Anyone with a personal interest in SketchUp.
