Good day Architects , Engineers , & Designers !

We have new courses 2 offer suited for architects/engineers/designers etc. and for those who are simply interested in 2D/ 3D/ CAD/ Animation/ Non-linear Video/ Photo Editing...

SketchUp , whose award winning
toolset developed to design, is a modeling software that empowers designers to explore complex design ideas in 3D. Developed for the conceptual stages of design, SketchUp is powerful yet easy-to-learn 3D software. It is the pencil of digital design.

SketchUp is used predominately on the front-end of the design process where designs are in a fluid and tentative state.

Architects/Engineers and designers use SketchUp for:

•“Sketching” 3D building models to win projects
•Communicating design ideas with project teams and/or clients
•3D “walk-throughs” "Fly Throughs"
•Massing model development
•Urban planning and design

Transform your 2D GIS data into 3D virtual reality with SketchUp .

With it you can create realistic bldgs, massing models, street furniture, utilities, cars, people, terrain,anything in 3D. SketchUp imports a variety of file formats, including:
•Shape files, feature classes, orthophotos, and TINS
•CAD data - DXF and DWG
•3DS files
•Raster data - digital photos, JPG, TIFF, PNG, etc.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior designers generally focus on the “soft” finishes of a building. SketchUp’s ability to study the effects of light, and experiment with colors and textures are powerful tools for communicatingw/ clients,interior spaces, 2D drawings are helpful when constructing a building, but fall short when trying to help a client understand what a space will look like. SketchUp brings designs to life.

INTERIOR DESIGNERS use SketchUp for :

•Space planning
•Communicating design ideas with project teams and/or clients
•Interior and exterior shadow studies
•Real time color composition

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Landscape Architects use SketchUp for:

•Creating compelling 3D concept models to win projects
•Urban planning and design
•Creating “walk-throughs”
•Client and planning presentations
•Evaluating light conditions with real-time shadows

SKETCH-UP - “SANDBOX” tools bring a whole new world of power to landscape designers, making terrain modeling and manipulation fast and intuitive. With this tools you can:

•Create surfaces from contours
•Draw surfaces from scratch
•Build berms and hills
•Put roads, building pads and parking lots in your models
