Introduction to SketchUp
Dates: Saturday, March 6th & Sunday, March 7th (2 meetings)
Hours: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Instructor: Kolin Schmidt CF '21
SketchUp is a program for creating 3D models for construction, woodworking, jewelry, and craft projects. Some 3D Modeling software can be complicated, expensive, and impractical for many makers. SketchUp is a great way to learn about 3D modeling and get to work quickly without wasting time or money on advanced software you don’t need. In this class, students will learn the basics of navigating a 3D space, creating objects, and organizing a 3D model. Time permitting, students will work through some more complex projects, as well.
