The SketchUp Advanced Architecture course is designed to provide architects, designers, and professionals in the construction industry with an in-depth understanding of SketchUp's advanced features and techniques specifically tailored for architectural design. This course aims to take your SketchUp skills to the next level, enabling you to create complex architectural models with precision and efficiency.

What is inside the course ?

Course Overview

Take your SketchUp skills beyond the standard "box" modeling. The SketchUp Advanced Architecture course is a deep dive into the world of professional plugins and high-end architectural workflows.

This program is specifically designed for architects and designers who want to create complex, organic, and non-standard structures that are typically difficult to achieve in SketchUp. You won’t just learn how to model; you will learn how to think like a computational designer using the most powerful tools available for the platform.

Advanced Plugin Integration:

Master the industry-standard plugins (such as SubD, Vertex Tools, and Profile Builder) to automate and enhance your modeling.

Organic & Parametric Design:

Learn the secrets to creating fluid facades, curved roofs, and complex geometric structures.

Professional Workflows:

Bridge the gap between conceptual sketches and precise architectural models.

Plugin-Driven Workflow:

Learn how to combine industry-standard extensions (SubD, Vertex Tools, Profile Builder) with our custom tools for maximum efficiency.

Exclusive Feature: The Engineering Toolbox Plugin

The "Smart Tool" for Professional Architects

Most architects reach a "ceiling" in SketchUp because the native tools aren't built for complex engineering. The Engineering Toolbox, developed by SchoolDesign.net, is a professional-grade extension suite designed to break those limits.

Included exclusively with this course, this plugin adds over 30 specialized functions divided into seven powerful modules:

The Engineering Toolbox Plugin

Standard SketchUp users spend 80% of their time on manual work. With the Engineering Toolbox, you automate the tedious parts of modeling. Whether you are designing a complex facade for a skyscraper or an organic roof for a modern villa, these tools give you the precision of an engineer and the freedom of an artist.

1. Advanced Selection & Filtering

Stop wasting time clicking individual lines.

Area Filter: Select hundreds of surfaces instantly based on their square footage.
Line & Axis Filter: Isolate lines based on their orientation (X, Y, Z) or specific angles with professional tolerance settings.
Boundary Loops: Automatically detect and select closed loops and gaps in your geometry.

2. Mastering Complex Curves (G1 Tangency)

Create smooth, fluid, and mathematically correct curves.

G1 Tangent Tools: Create perfect "bridge" curves between lines while maintaining tangency—even when moving objects.
Advanced Deformation: Use the 3D Gizmo or Bezier control points to modify curves without breaking their structural integrity.
Curve Extension: Extend curves by precise dimensions while keeping the tangency—a feature missing in native SketchUp.

3. Professional Surface Operations

Transform flat planes into architectural skins.

Lofted & Multi-Section Surfaces: Build complex shells between guides using advanced mathematical algorithms.
Project & Split: Project complex curves onto curved surfaces and use them as a "knife" to split or trim your geometry.
Fit Surface to Guides: Stretch and snap architectural surfaces onto curved guides while maintaining segment control.

4. Smart Modeling & Layout

CAD-level precision inside SketchUp.

Architectural Grid: Generate AutoCAD-style snapping grids to organize your 3D space.
Live Mirroring: Model symmetrical buildings in real-time. Every change you make on one side is instantly updated on the other.
Vertex Sliding: Move points (vertices) along existing edges to fine-tune organic shapes without distorting the overall surface.
Copy Along Path with Normals: Distribute components along a curve while keeping them perfectly perpendicular (normals) to the path.

5. Natural Sketching & Freedom

Natural Sketch: Use your mouse to draw fluid, organic shapes that the plugin automatically converts into clean, manageable Bezier curves with control points.
