About this course

I want to show you how to create SketchUp models that look gorgeous and so enticing that you’ll be getting the ‘yes’ a lot easier and quicker from your client. We’re going rogue; we’re not using the generic SketchUp materials and boring stuff found in the 3D warehouse (the SketchUp library). Instead we are all about creating our own beautiful custom designs, so that you will be able to show your clients your fabulous design vision.

What to expect in this course

This is an online course delivered in three modules. Within each module, video tutorials prepared by me, clearly explains each step of the way. Written notes are provided to follow along.
