Custom and private Sketchup classes
This Sketchup course is available as a private class. Curriculum can be customized for your specific needs. Sketchup classes can be delivered at your location, online, or in our classrooms. For more information, call 781-376-6044 to speak with a training consultant or contact us.
Before enrolling in this intermediate Sketchup course you should be familiar with the topics covered in the introductory class. Participants should also be familiar with fundamental geometric terms such as polygon, parallel, perpendicular, axes, arc, and array. You should also understand 3-dimensional drawing terms including: rendering, field of view, and point of view.
The intermediate SketchUp class provides for use of the software while in our classrooms, and you can select either Mac or Windows at the time of enrollment. We recommend that you also have either the Sketchup Pro or SketchUp Make app at the time of the training so that you can continue to learn SketchUp outside of the classroom. If attending an online SketchUp course, you can use either version of the SketchUp app for the class; if needed a link to the app for use during the SketchUp class can be provided.
You will receive a comprehensive course manual for this class developed by the instructors at AGI. AGI instructors have created many of the official training guides and books for Adobe Systems and Microsoft.
