Description

In this course we use SketchUp Pro 2020 to create a 3D model of the exterior of a residential home using 2 dimensional CAD floor plan. We will go through each step in creating a professional architectural model. This course is taught with SketchUp Pro 2020 and as a bonus we will quickly go over creating a photorealistic rendering using the Lumion 10. If you think modeling with sketchup is too hard this course is for you! Learn in a few lessons how to create awesome 3D models. Lets get Started.
