Before enrolling in this Sketchup class you should be familiar with fundamental geometric terms such as polygon, parallel, perpendicular, axes, arc, and array. It is also helpful to understand 3-dimensional drawing terms including: rendering, field of view, and point of view.
This SketchUp course 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 major software developers, and are the authors of more than 50 training books.
