Class overview
As a SketchUp, Architecture, and AutoCAD tutor, I can teach students of all levels - from school to college to adult/professional learners. My teaching methodology includes model making, technical skills development, concept building, design thinking, and keeping the sessions engaging. I focus on preparing students for a successful career in architecture by helping them build a strong portfolio of projects. With tailored strategies, I assist students in grasping design principles and provide them with the opportunity to work on their own designs. Through personalized design projects that cater to their architectural interests, I guide students towards achieving their educational and professional goals.

Architecture concepts taught by Riya
The Student and Tutor reviewed key SketchUp concepts, specifically the difference between creating 'groups' and 'components' for efficient 3D modeling. The Student then presented their comprehensive Urban Design project portfolio, showcasing design proposals for a site in Brisbane, incorporating urban theory and SketchUp visualizations. They also discussed upcoming academic subjects, including the potential future use of AutoCAD for 2D architectural drafting.

Dynamic Flow Line Creation with Path Array
Layer & Property Management
Layouts
Viewports & PDF Publishing
Drafting Workflow Enhancements
The Student and Tutor worked on an AutoCAD assignment, focusing on setting up an A3 layout, integrating a scaled title block, and accurately drawing an elevation. They also covered applying layers to drawing elements, creating furniture blocks for easy manipulation, and using hatching with transparency to define functional zones within a floor plan. The Tutor will prepare the specific scaling for the elevation drawing for the upcoming session.
