Trimble SketchUp Introduction 1 Day Training Course (Glasgow)

This 1-day Introduction course will give you the SketchUp skills you need to move quickly from concept to design, whatever your field of work.

Our main objective is to show you how to draw 'the SketchUp way'. Together, we will combine basic drawing skills with a creative approach as we produce simple, functional designs. We cover all the main modelling and editing tools, plus the essential tricks and ways to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes. We use a hands-on approach and by the end of the day you will be confident in creating complex 3D models.

Despite being labelled as an introduction, our course will contain tips and techniques that will appeal to new and experienced users alike, as we lift the lid of some of the program's powerful features.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand design best practices
• Create geometry in 2D and 3D
• Generate and connect forms
• Write 3D text
• Render your designs

Our goal is for you to be able to quickly and efficiently create both simple and complex designs.
