This step-by-step workbook takes you through: -Setting up an astonishingly functional template for your projects utilising SketchUp's powerful tools -Using the template with an Interior Design workflow with a sample room that you customise -Creating a reflective surface (mirror), ceiling light, custom textured wall and more, to quickly master the Twilight setup -Checking Axis-alignment and face reversal at the click of a button -Creating 2D plans, elevations, cross sections, and tradesman specific plans quickly and easily, all of which are updated as you design. SketchUp is the fantastic downloadable modelling software created by Google and continued by Trimble. With SketchUp Make being a free entry-level option, and Twilight Hobby also a free option, new Interior Designers can learn the skills they need to build a portfolio before purchasing the commercial-use software.
