sketchup intermediate

Learn how tags replace layers in SketchUp, organize objects, and control visibility to speed large projects; create groups and design options by copying and swapping window and door styles.

Organize tags with folders, rename or disable floors, and move entities between tags, then create and play a small animation using scenes to save and present views.

Learn how to manage SketchUp scenes for exterior design by updating, renaming, and reordering views, and to animate transitions with configurable duration and pause settings.

Learn how to apply materials and textures in SketchUp intermediate, adjust texture size with lock aspect ratio, position and scale textures, apply colors across surfaces, and reuse samples for finishes.

Learn how to source customized textures in SketchUp from 3D Warehouse, Google Images, and texture sites, then import, save, edit, and apply them with the pocket tool while organizing materials.

Master entity info in SketchUp to view attributes, calculate area and volume, and manage lines, faces, groups, and components. Customize shortcuts like ctrl+e and window preferences to speed up modeling.

Explore sketchup styles to alter how your model looks, switch and edit styles, mix states, and manage edges and profile for clearer previews and performance.

Learn how SketchUp handles front and back faces and color coding. See how styles, default materials, and background options affect the model, and how to apply a watermark on exports.

Apply the watermark tool in SketchUp to place a logo in front of or behind your model, adjust brightness, and set overlay or tile display for final export.

Enable shadows to see sun-cast shadows on your model, adjust time of day with UTC and date, and control shadow visibility on faces or ground, plus fog for depth.

Learn to create 3D solid primitives in AutoCAD, including box, cylinder, cone, pyramid, sphere, torus, and cube, with dimensioning, view styles, and placement options.

Explore the extrude command in AutoCAD, from typing E:60 at the command prompt to set height, direction, path, taper, and mode (solid or surface) for 3D models.

Master the lofting workflow in AutoCAD by creating 2d profiles, switching to 3d, and using the selection order to shape cross sections and final 3d geometry.

Master the revolve tool in AutoCAD: join lines into a single object, rotate around x or y axes, and apply angles up to 360 degrees with wireframe or shaded views.

Explore the AutoCAD 3D sweep command to create springs and other objects along a path, adjusting radius, height, turns, and adding shells or holes.

Master the AutoCAD press pool command to extrude 2D shapes into 3D, cut openings, adjust thickness, and apply heights to multiple objects, with shaded and 2D wireframe views.

Demonstrate how to use the boolean command in AutoCAD to union, subtract, and intersect multiple objects, creating connected geometry and openings through press pull.

Learn to apply fillet and chamfer in AutoCAD 3D, adjusting radius and distances with loop and chain options to create smooth and beveled edges on geometric shapes.

Learn how to use the AutoCAD shell command to create pipes and a sewage cross pipe, apply shell thickness, and control openings for flow.
