🚀 SketchUp ATC Master Essentials 1 – Foundations Training

Course Overview
This is where your SketchUp journey really begins. Essentials 1 gives you the skills and structure to model with accuracy, speed, and confidence. No guesswork, no messy shortcuts — just the proven methods that keep your geometry clean and your workflow smooth.

📚 Curriculum Modules

• 🌍 Intro to Trimble & SketchUp – see where SketchUp fits into the wider design ecosystem.
• 🖥 Workspace Setup – configure the desktop so tools work for you.
• 🧰 Managing Tools & Resources – add extensions, plugins, and libraries without clutter.
• ✏️ Edges into Surfaces – convert linework into clean planes.
• 🔺 Complex Profiles – handling multi-sided geometry with ease.
• 🎯 Curves & Segments – arcs, circles, and the secrets of segmentation.
• 🧲 Geometry Behaviour – mastering the “stickiness” of SketchUp geometry in 2D & 3D.
• 🖊 Selection Mastery – quick methods to highlight exactly what you want.
• 📐 Flatwork First – why 2D accuracy = stronger 3D models.
• 🗺 Plan to 3D – the fastest ways to extrude buildings straight from plan view.
• ✍️ Drawing Direct in 3D – sketch into space with guides & inferences.
• 👀 Visual Helpers – use guides, axes, and inference locking to stay precise.
• 📦 Shaping Volumes – Push/Pull + advanced form-shaping methods.
• 🔗 Intersecting Geometry – slice and combine objects with confidence.
• 📏 Coplanar Control – keep surfaces aligned while moving geometry.
• ⛓ Locking Inferences – force SketchUp to draw what you want, not what it thinks.
• ⚡ Form Generation Shortcuts – build complex shapes and concentric forms quickly.
• 🏗 Guided Model Build – step-by-step project tying all the skills together.
• 🔄 Flipping & Mirroring – reflect and rotate geometry accurately.
• 🧮 Array Magic – multiply objects in perfect patterns.
• 🏢 3D Warehouse – bring in external content without bringing in chaos.
• 🎨 Visual Styles – set up sketch, technical, or presentation-ready views.
• 🪟 Material Mastery – standard vs PBR, plus building your own library.
• 📍 Geolocation – drop your model into the real world with Add Location.
• 🤖 AI Sneak Peek – how artificial intelligence is reshaping SketchUp workflows.

⏱ Format

• 1 × Free pre-training setup session
• Live Zoom training (fully recorded)
• Guided real-time exercises and projects
• No messing, zero distruption full-on training.

🎯 Outcome

By the end of Essentials 1, you’ll:
✅ Confidently take a 2D concept and turn it into an accurate 3D model
✅ Understand how to control geometry instead of fighting with it
✅ Build clean, organised models ready for LayOut, rendering, or development
✅ Stop wasting time with messy guesswork — and start working like a pro

🔥 This isn’t just about “learning the basics.”
It’s about building the right habits from day one, so every model you create is structured, scalable, and future-proof.

👉 Skip the trial-and-error. Nail the foundations. Watch your 3D skills accelerate.

❌ Fully Booked. But…
These coaching sessions are kept small so we can work directly on your workflows and libraries — not some generic demo model. That’s why they go fast.
