Congratulations, you now should have all the skills you need to start using SketchUp in a professional environment. Pretty easy now that you've spent some time learning the fundamentals isn't it? Thats the great thing about SketchUp. You should be able to create and modify fairly complex models , and understand the basics of how SketchUp works. But you're 3D education doesn't end here. There are still a lot of processes and time saving tequniques you can learn.

Google offers a wide range of videos, support forums and tutorials for a variety of tasks and concepts. I've included a lot of them in these lessons, but as you work through your're first few projects, you can further expand your knowlegde and skill sby refering bhack to the past tutorials, as well as some more advanced ones that google offers.

You can find more information here:

  • Main website.
  • Bonus packs of materials and useful objects like furniture.
  • Forums for asking questions, finding answers and examining case studies how other users produced their models.
  • Video Tutorials. All the tutorials we've covered plus many more useful instructional videos. Architects and related design fields should be sure to do the tutorials found here to learn how to use SketchUp with CAD.
  • Self-paced tutorials are great for review and learning new skills.
Take some time to explore all the information that Google has to offer online. You should find that if you use SketchUp for your work in a couple of months it will become as easy as using AutoCAD or sketching with your pencil. Keep it up, your clients will thank you.

SketchUp does have some limitations when it comes to rendering and presentation. My company suasive_visual, can take the model's you create and import them into more advanced rendering software saving a lot of time and money. We also can create models from scratch, improve existing models, and use advance video tools to produce mroe complex renderign and animations from SketchUp itself.

If you ever have any questions? Ask us. Have comments? Post them or tell us. As always, I’m here to help.
