Sketchup training

This course is designed by interior designers for interior designers. You’ll find all the advice and tips you need for designing plans and 3D! It’s an intense course that we’re keen to make fun and accessible.

Sketchup is one of the leading CAD (computer-aided design) software packages. It is used by architects, interior designers and decorators to build 3D projects.

Its use is a real asset, and sets it apart from the competition. In particular, it is indispensable for producing technical plans, kitchens and made-to-measure furniture. It enables designers to bring their ideas to life and allows customers to project themselves before the work is carried out.

Training objectives :

Get to grips with all the software in a fun and professional way.

To be able to create a complete 3D model of a house interior using the concept of groups.

Create attractive 3D perspectives.

Drawing up 2D plans and cross-sections for your projects.
