SketchUp

SketchUp (formerly Google Sketchup) is a 3D modelling computer software owned by Trimble Inc. It is widely used in the field of Architecture, Interior design, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Movie, Animation and Video Game design. Slog Solutions Private Limited provides the best SketchUp training for Architects and Interior Designers in Dehradun.

In SketchUp we can create and edit 2D and 3D models with “Push and Pull” method. SketchUp comes with a database of user-created models available for anyone to access known as 3D Warehouse, this is a free online library where we can also add our own created new models like doors, windows, automobiles.

3D Warehouse models can even use in other softwares like AutoCAD, Revit and ArchiCAD. Slog Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is the best SketchUp training institute in Dehradun.

With the help of some other 3rd party plugins like V-Ray SketchUp project gives best render result. The one thing which makes SketchUp superior from other softwares is its user friendly interface.

If you are beginner for 3D modelling then SketchUp is best software for you. SketchUp isn’t just about 3D modeling, of course, and that’s where LayOut comes in.

LayOut converts SketchUp models into diagrams, drawings, presentations and even scaled prints. Slog Solutions Private Limited is the best summer and winter SketchUp training institute in Dehradun.
