3D Floor Plan Masterclass with Sketchup, Vray & Flextools

Learn how to import cad dwg files into sketchup, set mm units, import external and internal walls plus furniture, adjust scale, purge materials, and use extensions to automate wall faces.

Create internal and external walls, assign 160 external tags to faces, and use push-pull to set wall heights (3000 mm/10 ft) while organizing geometry into layers and tags.

Discover how to create doors and windows in SketchUp using both manual methods and the Flex Tools plugin, including dynamic components, live components, and automatic openings.

Create a floor slab and balcony railings by extruding a rectangle and using groups and offsets. Build railings manually or with Profile Builder for efficiency.

Place furniture in an existing apartment model to create a Scandinavian, minimal 3D render; highlight browns, greens, and blue-yellow accents, and develop mood boards for room design and lighting.

Set up camera views with a palette projection for an isometric floor plan, add a section plane, then create scenes and floorplan views with updated outputs and lighting.

Set up a white base plane and place a rectangle light with environment lighting to illuminate a 3D apartment, then adjust exposure and tone mapping for a realistic render.

Apply reflections and tweak metals, wood, glass, and fabric in a Sketchup and Vray workflow. Manage textures with maps and archive and apply consistent materials across components.

Apply final material tweaks, lighting adjustments, and render settings to enable batch rendering, post-production brightness changes, and scene management for 3D floor plans.
