Course Description
In this course, learn how to digitally model interior spaces using SketchUp and its SU Podium extension. SketchUp is one of the leading 3D computer modeling software programs in the interior design and architecture industries, allowing designers to quickly and effectively bring their ideas to life. This course will teach the SketchUp software, its history, and its context within design industries, and will focus on acquiring the technical skills required to create realistic 3D models. Learn how to build surfaces, volumes, objects, and spaces, how to produce technical and scaled architectural drawings, and how to produce photo-realistic renderings. Furthermore, learn how to utilize these documents within the context of design professions.
Course Prerequisite: Basic understanding of drafting and space planning concepts, including creating or interpreting simple floor plans, is required. Students must have SketchUp Pro (desktop edition) on either a Mac or Windows platform, along with the SU Podium extension. Familiarity with AutoCAD software is strongly recommended but not required.
