Learn how to use Google Sketchup 2019 to create 3D models in various fields in this free online 3D modeling course.

Due to its robust intuitiveness and easy-to-use tools, Google SketchUp 2019 has become one of the most common 3D visualization applications used by various professionals like architects, engineers and graphic designers. SketchUp is a handy tool for project visualization and 3D modeling. This course first goes through the interface basics of the Windows version and explains how to navigate and walk around in SketchUp. We then show you how to shade faces and edges and create camera views, shadows and fogs. We also demonstrate how to create multiple views using ‘scenes’.

The course explores other topics such as how to configure toolbars and trays, manipulate faces and edges and select, move, rotate and scale objects. We then teach you how to use the ‘line’ tool in 3D drawing, the eraser tool and the rectangle tool. The course also demonstrates how to use SketchUp to create rotated rectangles and push and pull faces into 3D before we examine the ‘protractor’ tool, 3D warehouse, ‘interact’ tool and much more.

The vast and active SketchUp user community offers a plethora of tools and support for anyone who needs assistance getting started or learning more about this versatile program. SketchUp allows you to blend real-time and photo real rendering and enables you to pick how accurate you want your measurements to be. It features a simple and easy interface but a rich toolset that both novices and pros can use to create, visualize and present concepts. With the aid of SketchUp 3D modeling software, architects, engineers and interior designers may perform tasks quickly, effectively and in detail to communicate their design narrative to various clients.
