COMING SOON... In-person: Advanced SketchUp
This course looks at two key areas of SketchUp - modelling terrain and working with it, and learning to maximise the in-built tools for creating Course objectives:
Understand SketchUp as a tool
Be able to navigate the 3D environment (Orbit, Pan, Zoom etc.)
Learn how to draw simple 3D shapes (Line, Rectangle, Circle etc.)
Manipulate objects into more complex forms
Understand how Groups and Components work
Apply materials and textures and use basic scaling
Understand Layers and Tags
Utilise the 3D Warehouse
Know how best to populate your model with plants
Understand to create basic terrain
Be able to turn on shadows
Use the Camera Tools and set up Scenes
Export images for use in presentations
For a full syllabus please see the sample pages from our course handbook in the gallery.

Duration
This is a one day course starting at 9.30 BST and finishing at 16.45 BST.
There will be a morning session (9.30 - 12.45) and afternoon session (13.30 - 16.45), each with a 15 minute break.
Pre-requisites
Please note that this course assumes familiarity with SketchUp. We will assume you know how to XXXXXXX Please consider our Introduction to SketchUp course if these workflows are unfamiliar to you.
Getting started
It is essential that you have SketchUp installed and running prior to the course. We cannot help you with software installation, if you have any difficulties with this please contact SketchUp directly.
The course will be run via Zoom. You will need a stable, reliable internet connection to view the course, which is run online.
Course structure
This course is divided into a series of lectures and class exercises. As tempting as it is to follow the tutor during lectures - selecting tools and drawing as they draw - you are more likely to miss details this way (even if you have two screens) because you will be concentrating on your own screen and not the tutor. There is a lot to cover in a day and the lectures will run quite quickly to leave as much time as possible for class exercises.
We recommend you concentrate on the demonstrations and make notes by hand.
