About your tutor
I am an interior design professional with 1.5 years of industry experience and 1 year of teaching, specializing in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape rendering. I hold a Master’s in Interior Design from the UK and a Bachelor’s from India. I’ve worked on residential and commercial projects, creating detailed drawings and 3D models, and now teach students to do the same. My teaching focuses on real-world application, project-based learning, and software proficiency, helping learners build strong portfolios and practical skills for the interior design industry. I design lessons that blend creativity with precision and encourage students to visualize spaces with clarity, purpose, and technical accuracy.

Class overview
My teaching methodology combines hands-on learning with real-world project scenarios. I focus on step-by-step guidance in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape, helping students understand both the tools and their design applications. Lessons emphasize clean modeling, accurate drafting, and effective visual presentation. I encourage project-based learning, creativity, and problem-solving, while providing regular feedback and support. By integrating professional standards and practical tasks, I help students develop confidence, technical skills, and portfolio-ready work aligned with industry expectations. I also incorporate design logic and spatial thinking to prepare students for real design challenges.

Architecture concepts taught by Vinkal
The Student learned how to draft a 'square to round' shape in AutoCAD, focusing on specific commands like 'arc', 'offset', 'trim', 'explode', and 'center line'. The Tutor demonstrated the techniques and guided the Student through the process of recreating the shape. Next session will involve finding and implementing CAD blocks.

Importing 3D Warehouse Models
The Rotate Command
Scaling Objects with Reference Points
Copying and Pasting Objects
Grouping Objects
The student and tutor worked on importing a couch model from the 3D Warehouse into SketchUp and editing its components, including removing a blanket and attempting to change the texture to brown velvet. The session focused on navigating the 3D Warehouse, editing grouped objects, and understanding image formats for importing textures. They plan to continue working on texturing in the next session.

Group Editing
Applying Textures via Image Import
Image File Format Importance
The student and tutor practiced using layers in AutoCAD to overlay foundation and first-floor plans, focusing on visibility control and organization. The student learned to create, manage, and manipulate layers to isolate specific elements in the drawing. The homework is to practice copy-pasting and accurately aligning foundation and first floor plans on top of each other, and to further practice using layers.
Layers Management in AutoCAD
Grouping Objects
Copying and Pasting Between Files
Object Alignment Strategies
Drawing in specific layers
The Student practiced transferring drawings from model space to layout space and setting up page layouts for printing in AutoCAD. They also explored techniques for combining and managing multiple plans using groups and blocks. The Tutor assigned the Student to send the AutoCAD file for the next session for further practice on combining plans.

The Student sought assistance with line weight issues in AutoCAD, where plotted lines appeared too thick or too light. The Tutor provided guidance on adjusting plot settings to resolve the immediate problem. They discussed alternative solutions, including manually changing line colors within the drawing to improve visibility.
