About SketchUp
Students will learn how to model a 3D house using SketchUp. Due to the differences in interfaces between modeling programs, 3D modeling is a talent that requires continuous learning. You can create architectural renderings, 3D modeling, and more using SketchUp. It is possible to use game assets, renovations, physical home designs, and much more when building a house for students.
