Written by the company

As 3D modelling continues it's rise within the design industries, being able to converse in the same design language is fast becoming a necessity to allow for smoother workflows and enable better-informed decision making when designing. There is a plethora of modelling software programs on the market, but SketchUp remains to this day the closest thing to a '3D common language' out there. With its shallow learning curve and seamless AutoCAD integration; suddenly the ability to resolve site design issues and showcase powerful street scenes becomes ever-more achievable. Whilst not exclusively used in the Architectural industry, SketchUp has been designed with Architecture and Urban Planning in mind to work in conjunction with the multitude of other pieces of modelling software on the market. Our Access to SketchUp course builds fluency by means of providing delegates with the tools to develop their designs within the realm of 3D and create powerful, punchy imagery to be used in presentations and better-informed decision making. From 'sketching' concepts in 3D, to managing exports to showcase proposals, we cover everything SketchUp-related whilst teaching the fundamentals of the tried-and-tested Archilime workflow - used by us for years to create Architectural CGI.

VRAY NEXT for Sketchup - 4 Day online course

I have recently completed the 4 Day VRAY NEXT for SketchUp online course and the expertise and guidance from Dan has been excellent. The tuition was delivered in a focused and engaging manner and any questions we had were answered with a comprehensive explanation even after the course finished. The course material was well thought out and made to suit our individual needs if we had any project-specific queries. I would highly recommend Dan and the Archilime team for their service and expertise and will absolutely be returning to them for more courses in the future. Thank you Archilime.

Bitesize Sketchup course - Modelling with Photography

Fantastic 'bitesize' Sketchup course today with Dan - Modelling with Photography. As a fairly experienced Sketchup user, Dan was able to show me new techniques and pluggins which will be a massive game-changer for my workflow. He is a great teacher, and very patient - even when I go off at a tangent! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend. Who knew that Zoom would be perfect for this type of thing!

Access to Sketchup online Course

I have just completed a 3 day on-line course for the Access into Sketchup with Dan Stone. This was a truly excellent experience with very expert guidance into a powerful and intuitive programme. I started a complete novice and come away with the ability to start 3-d modelling. Dan's teaching and guidance was excellent with his ability to hone in on my own particular needs whilst ensuring I completed the whole course understanding all the new concepts, ideas and tools. I can't wait to get modelling.

shaping your topography

Today I completed the new “shaping your topography” course, for something that is quite complex it is made so easy and clear. Making the transition from 2d contours or datum number to a 3D topography model was something I thought only the pros could do but after completing this course I can confidently say I can do it To :). Dan is a great guy and a great teacher, nothing is to much trouble and he can answer any questions you have, so pleased I took this course and will definitely be booking on the other courses ASAP to grow my knowledge further. Thanks Archilime what a great company!

Great course!

Great course!

When I attended the course I had no knowledge of Sketchup, I have come away from the course being able to make a model and use various tools. The course is really well taught and gives you the opportunity for one on one learning as well as learning within a group. The support you are offered after the course is great too!

Thank you for a really engaging and informative training course. Having self taught myself some basics, Dan took the time to establish what I had learnt and what I needed to work on. I have come away with a much better understanding of sketchup, tips and tricks and know what I now need to work on to keep improving. Thank you very much.

Fantastic tuition.

Fantastic tuition with a very patient instructor. This is the best instructional training CPD on software I have received to date.
Resources were well prepared and instruction and advice was also given on bespoke projects/ideas.
I would highly recommend this course.

Great introduction to SketchUp

An effective two day introductory course to SketchUp,Dan modelled the course to best suit our intended use of the programme and was a great and patient teacher. I finished the course with the confidence to get stuck in myself to develop my own skills.

An essential and inspiring welcome to the power of SketchUp...

A thoroughly enjoyable and structured introduction to this essential creative tool by the professionals.
Dan's tutoring is first class and he explained each aspect thoroughly, ensuring that none of us were left behind, whilst moving sequentially through the elements that are eventually combined to provide a more than an enticing taster of where SketchUp can take you...
I was in great company with my fellow adventurers, which definitely contributed to a fantastic few days on so many levels both personally and professionally.
Let your imagination go and it will take you to places you never thought possible 48 hours earlier!

There are many facets to this course and yes, there are many other worlds within SketchUp to explore, but you can now be productive in a reasonably short time. There is a path for everyone.

Go on - buy a ticket for a ride that will change your life....

Great introductory course

Great introductory course, or even good to do if you have tried to self teach yourself in the basics some time ago (to make sure you have taught yourself the right way!). Dan was very helpful and happy to tailor things to meet your specific learning needs.

The two day introductory course was…

The two day introductory course was excellent. Dan is a great teacher and we all had an immediate rapport as a group. Most of the attendees had some previous experience of either Autocad or SketchUp which enabled us to move through the course at a similar speed. We were shown how to use the main tools and functions and then proceeded to model a house together in order to get our process in the right sequential order. By the end of the course we were able to create our own fly throughs which was great. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone who is looking to develop their SketchUp skills or iron out any bad habits!

SketchUp course with Archilime Academy

I would highly recommend Archilime SketchUp Academy. I was very excited upon the prospect of learning from a team of young and talented experts in their field and I was not disappointed.
With guidance from very knowledgeable trainer, Dan, this professionally set up and well-delivered introductory course was intense and challenging as well as greatly enjoyable.
The course is run with a small group of participants, giving plenty opportunity for the trainer to answer all individual queries and work through any issues with the learners and adjust to their learning styles.
Myself being dyslexic as well as English not being my first language I often ask more questions than your usual student, Dan has handled it with great patience, explaining a task that I found particularly problematic several times until we were both satisfied with both my understanding and my execution of the task.
The syllabus was structured in a clear manner, with helpful learning materials provided.
Upon completion of the course I feel confident to continue work with 3D modelling and I am looking forward to more courses with Archilime Academy to further these skills.

Thoroughly recommend

Would highly recommend taking a course from this experienced team. Dan was knowledgeable, patient and a great teacher. They truly cared that people got the most from the course and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was satisfied. The small class size meant that Dan was able to give a lot of time individual support. He kept track of our different interests/professions and made a point of emphasizing certain aspects that would be particularly relevant or useful to us.

Archilime academy

Having never used a modeling program before, I was unsure whether the course would be beyond my capabilities. However Dans clear, consice explanations along with his patience made it much easier to understand and use the program.
His teaching methods adapted to the different people in the room, offering help in alternative ways depending on how someone learns more effectively.
The two day course is a lot of information to retain, but with regular breaks and practice sessions, alongside a helpful guide, it becomes easier to understand and very satisfying!
I would recommend this course to a broad range of people, as the skills taught are a useful tool which can be applied to many different types of work, and a good foundation for any progression with modelling software.
I have left feeling comfortable enough to tackle some simple modelling work and look forward to becoming more adept with the program.
Many thanks
