What you'll learn

  • Converting 2D blueprints into a complex 3D model in SketchUp
  • The most practical way to create a house in SketchUp from the ground up
  • Design a large complex house in SketchUp with confidence

Course content

6 sections • 29 lectures • 4h 22m total length

  • Resources (Blueprints and final project)
  • Getting Started3:36

    This lecture is from the course SketchUp Make 2017- from beginner to advanced, a course that I really recommend for a beginner to take who is just looking to learn about all the tools in SketchUp

  • Importing Blueprints2:13

    In this lecture we will learn how to import the blueprints that we are going to be using in this course.


  • Matching the scale5:24

    In this lecture we will match the scale of the blueprints to the one in SketchUp

  • Drawing into the floorplan pt 1.10:08

    This is where we start drawing the foundation for the 1st floor

  • Creating Layers7:07

    Pay attention to this lecture because we are going to be using layers a lot in future lessons!

  • Drawing into the floorplan pt. 29:39

    Very similar to lecture 3, except now we are drawing the foundation for the 2nd floor

  • Placing blueprints in correct positions9:27

    In this lecture we will move, rotate and adjust the blueprints to put them in the correct place

Requirements

  • Have access to a computer
  • Be a little bit familiar with the main tools in SketchUp

Description

Would you like to create a 3D model of your house? SketchUp is perfect for that!

This course will guide you through every process of creating a house from scratch, using only the blueprints that we have available. We will start with creating the exterior, that means creating the floorplan and turning everything into 3D, then we will create the ceiling, the roof, and finally paint the exterior.  After that we will move on to the interior and design the kitchen, stairs and bathrooms all by ourselves. We will also take a look at how to create all sorts of furniture from scratch, and thereby only using the 3D warehouse for a very small number of items.

Do you think I should I take this course if I'm  going to create a house completely from scratch with no blueprints?

Absolutely! That's because it can be really time-consuming to create a 3D model from scratch.  This course will show you the most practical workflow and teach you ways on how you can make the whole process a lot faster. 

What if I am a total beginner and know nothing about SketchUp?

This course is meant for intermediates and above, so I expect you to have some general knowledge of SketchUp before enrolling, however, if you have never opened up SketchUp before then don't worry, there are a lot of courses out there for you, like SketchUp Make 2017 - from beginner to advanced  a course that I created as well.

With Udemy's 30 day 100% money back guarantee there is no reason to hesitate, enroll now and see if you like it.


Who this course is for:

  • People who want to extend their knowledge in SketchUp
  • People who want to learn how to create a 3D model out of 2D blueprints
  • People who want to be able to design a complex house from the ground up
