If you are a person who has recently felt that being able to draw 3D architecture would be a huge asset to your bag of skills, then this course is for you. And don’t worry! This course is truly simple.

This course shows how to use Sketchup's many tools through a central project of modeling a home. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no prior experience with SketchUp or 3D modeling is required.
