In this hands-on online course you will learn how to communicate your ideas using the latest industry software.
SketchUp, AutoCAD and Revit
Accredited by Sydney Design School
Delivered entirely online
Take your ideas to the next level and professionally present your designs using the latest industry software including SketchUp, AutoCAD and Revit.
Develop a thorough understanding of interior construction methods and building techniques empowering you to co-ordinate a residential build. Through a series of practical exercises you’ll develop a documentation package for a residential project in AutoCAD and a commercial project in Revit including plans, elevations, sections, joinery details and 3D models. You’ll visualise an interior from the ground up in SketchUp adding furniture from the 3D Warehouse, lighting and materials finishes.
Graduate with the confidence to present your designs to industry standard – impressing prospective clients and employers with 2D drawings and 3D imagery. This course entirely self paced, you’ll receive specific and individual feedback as you go and access to video conferencing/screen share sessions, or email/phone conversations with our Educators.
