Overview
This course is aimed at an intermediate level audience and assumes some knowledge of working with SketchUp. It will follow on from the “Getting started in SketchUp” course.
- This is not designed as a “model-along” course
- It will suit PC or Mac users
- It will use SketchUp pro (2025) and is not suitable for Web/ iPad versions of the software.
The objective is to take you from having some working knowledge of SketchUp and to refine your skills, explore more advanced techniques and use a workflow that allows you to approach modelling in a more efficient way. The course will start with a review of first principles to help attendees improve their workflow and perhaps undo acquired habits.
The program will approximately follow the schedule below. The course has run for this year, and we hope to run it again in 2027. Please email us on gem@gardenmasterclass.org if you are interested in joining the mailing list
