This course is for you if you have little or no SketchUp knowledge and want to get some hands-on practice with floor plans and modeling. Last but not least, you want the model to look good: You'll learn how to use colors and textures, and different ways to present your model in different styles in an appealing way. Here we will mainly practice working quickly in SketchUp: How we build different layers in minutes, from the walls to the furniture, and how you can save yourself a lot of work with the pre-built models from the 3D library and customize them as you like.

We will also work with tags to bring order and clarity to the plan.įrom the finished 2D plan, we'll move on to building our 3D model. On top of that we will build our 2D plan, including furniture, dimensions and labels. Instead of a lot of theory, we will start immediately with a practical approach and import an existing floor plan as a template (you are also welcome to work with your own floor plan) and bring it to the right scale.

This is not a complete SketchUp course, but a comprehensive exercise to get to know how to work quickly with the simple CAD program on a concrete example, so that you can start your own projects with it. Would you like to remodel your apartment, redesign your kitchen, or build your dream home? Then this is the course for you: Using SketchUp Free, the web-based and free version of the popular 3D modeling tool, we will recreate a realistic living situation from scratch in just under 1.5 hours.
