Learners will be able to interpret 2D house plans, construct accurate 3D architectural models, apply essential SketchUp tools, and enhance designs with components and textures by the end of this course. The course focuses on developing practical, job-ready skills for transforming flat AutoCAD-style layouts into fully realized 3D house models using SketchUp.
This hands-on case study–driven course guides learners step by step through the SketchUp interface, navigation tools, and core 3D modeling workflows. Learners will begin by understanding the workspace and basic drawing techniques, then progress to creating walls, doors, and windows with precise dimensions. The course also covers efficient use of reusable components and realistic texture application to improve visual clarity and presentation quality.
What makes this course unique is its end-to-end project approach, where learners follow a complete real-world workflow rather than isolated tool demonstrations. By working directly from a 2D plan and building a structured 3D model from the ground up, learners gain confidence in applying SketchUp for architectural visualization, interior planning, and design communication. This course is ideal for beginners and aspiring designers seeking practical SketchUp modeling experience.
This module introduces learners to the SketchUp environment and core 3D modeling concepts, enabling them to understand the interface, navigation tools, and foundational techniques required to transform a 2D house plan into a structured 3D base model.
This module focuses on enhancing the 3D model by adding architectural components such as doors and windows, utilizing reusable components, and applying textures to improve realism and visual presentation.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
