SketchUp Class Reviews from Real Designers
For over the past 15 years, Iβve helped thousands of designers master SketchUp and gain confidence in their 3D modeling skills.
Hereβs what some of them have to say:
β β β β β Β
"I Previously Had Basic SketchUp Experience."
I took sessions to enhance my SketchUp capabilities. I learned more tricks and toolsβand better ways to build my interior projects. The plugins and render tools were extremely helpful, as were the tips Dan gave on how to build more efficiently. Dan is a great teacher and very patient. He never moves on until everyone is caught up, and heβs always available for questions. Overall, I really enjoyed my training and would recommend SketchUp Trainer to my fellow architects!
