Here’s how studying at NHA works

 

What will you learn?

User-friendly, powerful, and free

The starting point of the SketchUp (3D Drawing) course is its user-friendliness. Unlike AutoCAD, SketchUp is suitable for both professionals and beginners. You’ll start the SketchUp (3D Drawing) course by creating an account for the SketchUp Free software. This software runs in your browser, so you don’t need to install it first. 

 

The Pencil Principle

SketchUp’s principle is based on the good old pencil. After all, with a pencil you can draw freely in both 2D and 3D. So you can do the same with SketchUp! As you draw, you’ll get immediate help from the smart drawing assistant. We’ll explain the drawing tools and show you how to draw a brick house with windows and a tiled roof.

 

The Basics

With the SketchUp (3D Drawing) course, you can easily draw standard components—such as a table, a bedroom, or even an apartment building or museum—and then save them. You can also import the saved files into AutoCAD. You’ll also learn how to easily turn a static component into a dynamic one by adding all kinds of information to it. For example, you can add variety to a piece of furniture by using different colors and sizes.

Experiment with your own designs using the Push-Pull technique by stretching or compressing surfaces. Or use FollowMe, which lets you drag a component’s surface in three dimensions along any contour or plane.

 

From a Basic Interior to a Comprehensive Museum

Once you’ve mastered the basics of the course, we’ll get to work drawing a basic interior and even an entire museum gallery filled with paintings. By the end, you’ll be able to draw an interior like a pro.

 

Presentation

Finally, we’ll teach you how to present your SketchUp model in a video. Select all the views you want to include and turn them into “scenes.” This way, you’ll “fly” seamlessly from one view to the next.

By the end of the SketchUp (3D Drawing) course, you’ll be able to professionally visualize designs for a home or garden.
