I teach an online course for beginners that is focused specifically on using SketchUp for interior design purposes. Learning SketchUp will save you time, money, mistakes and so much more! It is a well known piece of software in the interior design and architecture industries and will give you a solid technical drawing skill that will immediately upgrade the professionalism of the work you are doing. ![]() With this software you can mock up an entire home in 2D (floor plans, joinery/millwork elevations, lighting and electrical plans and more) and 3D (renderings and perspective drawings) so you can picture exactly what it will look like when it is finished plus prepare your technical drawings for use with your clients, trades and contractors. If you want improve your work with design clients or you are about to start renovating or remodeling then you will love SketchUp. There are so many ways that I use SketchUp in my design workflow with clients and below I share just some of the possibilities using some examples from my own projects over the years. The final reason I love SketchUp is that it’s so versatile. This tutorial will teach you how to set up a view, how t. ![]() It’s fun! - It’ so important to love and enjoy what you do and when I’m creating in SketchUp it honestly feels like play rather than work :) In todays video, learn how to quickly create a floor plan from your SketchUp models in Layout 2020. It looks really professional - creating your designs in SketchUp and then presenting them for clients using Layout immediately upgraded the professionalism of my work. It is easy to learn - which is great as it meant I could get up to speed quickly with using it and starting to create projects for my clients. And because I can do everything in my interior design workflow in one piece of software it means I only have to pay for one software subscription. In fact SketchUp is quite a bit cheaper than most other design software on the market. It saves me money - SketchUp is great for small design studios or solo business owners like me as it’s very affordable. It’s well recognised in the industry and is a good technical drawing skill for any designer to learn. It’s industry recognised - most large design firms around the world have designers using SketchUp. I have personally only ever used SketchUp in my own interior design workflow with clients and people often ask me why I chose SketchUp over other software options on the market. The legs are corrugated metal.Most people don’t realise what is possible with SketchUp and how much you can achieve with just one piece of design software. For the boards I used wood, charcoal black, and matte black. I simply drew the rectangles, pushed them up to give them depth, and moved them into place.Ĭoloring Click 'b' for the paint bucket. The boards This is probably the simplest sub-step. Now, with the tape tool (hotkey 't'), I measured out the distance in between each leg to make sure that the bed was even. After extruding the circle around the curve I created another cylinder with the exact same diameter and with the move tool (hotkey 'm') I positioned it inside the leg. ![]() Follow along as we show you how to take an image of your choice and turn it into a tile with seamless textures. Instead, create smooth transitions from tile to tile. Dont settle for hard lines and inconsistent colors. The other pair of legs uses identical techniques with one additional twist. Customize your SketchUp model by creating your own tiling textures. Next I copied and pasted it with CTRL C and CTRL V. This keeps everything from grouping together. And to make things easier for the rest of the build I selected the entire structure, (use the space key) and pressed 'g' for group. Be patient with the follow me tool, it is rather finicky and easy to get annoyed by. With the follow me tool in hand I left clicked, and held, the top of the cylinder and dragged it along the arc. Unfortunately there is no hotkey for the follow me tool (as of Sketchup 13) so I had to click 'tools' at the top of the screen and selected follow me from there. Then I drew an arc that connect in tangent to the circle. Once I had created the circle I pulled it up a bit. The first thing I did was hit 'c' for the circle tool. The 'legs' This sub-step requires the push/pull, circle, arc, and follow me tool. Ultimately, I want to create a streamlined bed. This is a relatively long and complicated step that use lots of different tools. ![]()
