Computer-Assisted Design

Visu­al­iz­ing space in three dimen­sions (3D) is crit­i­cal to the suc­cess of an inte­ri­or decorator/​designer. In this course, you will learn SketchUp, a promi­nent 3D design soft­ware, that quick­ly gen­er­ates every­thing from rough con­cepts to eval­u­ate scale, pro­por­tion, colour and tex­ture, to work­ing draw­ings and con­struc­tion doc­u­ments for pro­duc­tion, all using a famil­iar pen­cil and paper par­a­digm. Most suc­cess­ful archi­tec­tur­al firms with Inte­ri­or Design or Dec­o­ra­tion depart­ments employ SketchUp software.
