SketchUp Pro offers design and rendering tools that can help you create striking, professional-grade 3D models that wow clients and colleagues alike. In this course, Marcelo demonstrates how to leverage these tools to create a detailed model of a series of lighting fixtures of different complexities house.

The course main focus is the creative and original utilization of the same old tools students are most likely already familiar with.

For the class we not going to required the use of any third party plugging, we will only use standard tools.

Along the way, he illustrates important techniques for organizing your project file, creating complex mechanical shapes, and even articulation for the lamp arm. Paul starts with the foundations, showing how to set up the template, load the components, and make the base profile for the lamp. He then demonstrates how to make the swivel connection profile, form the lower armature of the lamp, and make the top arm and lampshade. To wrap up, he explains how to put all of the pieces together and finalize the project.

If you have any experience with SketchUp, you know how effective a tool it is in bringing your designs to life. In this course, Marcelo teaches you how to create an interior design components in SketchUp Pro from a basic to very complex conceptual shapes. first We will start by importing the image of reference and scale it up to real life size. Once the picture is real life size we will proceeded to trace the picture using the pen tool and helping ourself with the measure tape tool. Once the profile is done we will turn the 2d model in to a 3d by applying either the push pull or follow me modifiers, ocationally we will need to use the solid object tools such as subtraction or intersection. At this point we will talk about the different between groping and making components.
