About Instructor
Course Overview
SketchUp Pro is an award winning software solution for 3D conceptual design exploration. Design professionals use SketchUp to develop their design ideas from initial concepts using intuitive drawing and modelling tools.
Unlike any other design tool, SketchUp combines the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today’s digital media.
“Shift” has a range of half and one day training courses aimed at helping you learn how this flexible application can be used to aid in the design process.
