SketchUp 2021 Quick Start: How to Model Your Bedroom

This beginner SketchUp course is a project-based course to get your feet wet and learn SketchUp by surveying and modeling your own bedroom.

We will begin by taking your own measurements. Learn a few tips on measuring a room specifically for modeling it in SketchUp. Next, we'll open a new document in SketchUp and learn how to create the walls of your room using line/rectangle tools, offset, and the push/pull tool. Then, we'll create door and window openings using guides to finish the shell space of the model.

Space planning will be done by adding furniture like the bed, dresser, end tables, and other entourage elements. You will learn how to download, move, copy and scale objects from the 3D Warehouse to fill out the space. You'll add materials to the walls and floor and add trim around the doors and a baseboard around the edges of the room. We'll finish with setting up the perfect view to save the model and export it out as a rendering.

This course is meant to get you started. If you are looking for something more in-depth, check out my "Learn SketchUp the Right Way" course for more advanced tips and workflows.

This course was recorded using SketchUp Pro 2021, however, older versions and even the web version of SketchUp could be used to create this project.
