Course Description
This course is designed for architects and architecture students who want to use SketchUp professionally, not just as a 3D drawing tool.
You’ll learn how to build clean, accurate, and well-organized architectural models, starting from early concept massing all the way to presentation-ready views.
The focus is on real architectural workflow: how architects actually think, model, organize, and present projects.
By the end of the course, you will be able to model residential and mixed-use buildings efficiently, develop facade designs, manage complex models, and produce high-quality visuals for presentations or further rendering.
No unnecessary theory — everything is practical, clear, and based on real projects.
Course Outline
Module 1: SketchUp Basics (Architectural Mindset)
Understanding SketchUp’s interface for architectural use
Units, precision, snapping & scale control
Essential tools every architect must master
Thinking in volumes, not lines
Module 2: Clean Modeling Workflow
Groups vs Components (when and why)
Proper model organization (Tags & Outliner)
Avoiding common modeling mistakes
Creating reusable architectural elements
Module 3: Concept & Massing Design
Fast massing techniques
Site context & scale reference
Exploring multiple design options
Using scenes to develop and compare concepts
Module 4: Architectural Modeling
Modeling slabs, walls, columns & cores
Doors, windows & openings
Staircases & basic structural elements
Modeling efficiently from CAD drawings
Module 5: Facade & Exterior Design
Facade proportions & rhythm
Balconies, frames, fins & shading devices
Repetitive systems using components
Material application for exterior clarity
Module 6: Sections, Plans & Diagrams
Creating clean sections & cut views
Scene styles for plans and elevations
Exploded diagrams & design explanations
Linework control for presentations
Module 7: Presentation & Visualization
Styles setup (concept vs final)
Shadow studies & sun settings
Scene animation basics
Exporting high-quality images & drawings
Module 8: Professional Tips & Optimization
Speed modeling techniques & shortcuts
