AutoCAD, SketchUp & Revit
(Accredited)
Take your designs to the next level with the latest industry software. In this practical and intensive course you will be introduced to AutoCAD, SketchUp and Revit enabling you to communicate your ideas with professional 2D drawings and stunning rendered 3D imagery. As part of the AutoCAD component you will develop a thorough understanding of construction methods and building techniques empowering you to co-ordinate a residential build.
Over 18 weeks the course covers an entire residential project from initial planning through to joinery documentation. You’ll graduate with the confidence to present your designs to industry standard – impressing prospective clients and employers.
The Tools:
- AutoCAD – powerful 2D drafting software that generates professional floor plans, elevations and design documentation
- SketchUp – 3D modelling software that brings a space to life with finishes, lighting, furniture and fittings
- A rendering tool for SketchUp that enables you to produce photo-realistic imagery
- Revit– latest industry standard 2D and 3D modelling software for Architects and Interior Designers
Whilst it’s desirable to have a basic understanding of technical drawing, it’s not essential. Our dedicated Educators will introduce you to the software step by step, starting with the basics.
