SketchUp and LayOut for woodworking
This course will introduce you to three-dimensional object modeling with SketchUp software, and to extract project plans from your model with LayOut. You’ll learn how to create simple 3D volumes. Afterwards, you’ll discover the basic principles of a clear and efficient project plan for fabrication.
To put the learning material into practice, each participant will model simple objects and then assemble a set of technical drawings for one of these objects.
