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 received guidance on tiling techniques and door adjustments in SketchUp, focusing on avoiding common errors with surface interaction and component editing. The Student practiced tiling a backsplash and adjusting door placements and will continue practicing these techniques, including ceiling work, independently.
Using Groups Instead of Components
Flipping Objects Along an Axis
Backsplash Creation
Tile Dimensioning and Layout
Tile Surface Creation
Copying and Pasting Walls for Tile Work
The Tutor assisted the Student with various AutoCAD techniques, including efficient hatch editing, object manipulation commands, array creation, and PDF importing/scaling. The Student also learned advanced techniques like using the 'Divide' and 'Overkill' commands. The next session will focus on SketchUp and recreating a house design.
Divide Command for Equal Spacing
Dimensioning Best Practices
Multiple Offset and Copy Methods
Array Command: Rectangular Arrays
Scaling Imported PDFs
Hatch Edit and Associativity
Efficient Hatching and Erasing
The Student and Tutor reviewed architectural floor plans and discussed interior design strategies for optimizing space utilization, furniture placement, and kitchen functionality. They explored different layout options, the integration of bathrooms and bedrooms, and the principles of electrical planning and technical drawing conventions, including sections and elevations. The next steps involve refining the furniture plan and then progressing to demolition and reflected ceiling plans.

Drawing vs. Image Scaling
Unit Precision and Conversion
Ensuring Object Centering
Counting Objects in CAD
The student and tutor worked on scaling imported PDF drawings in AutoCAD. The tutor guided the student through the correct use of the 'SCALE' command with reference points to adjust drawings to their proper dimensions, addressing issues with fractional inch inputs and demonstrating best practices for accurate scaling. They planned to continue practicing scaling techniques.

Object Grouping and Layer Management
Understanding Drawing Units and Dimensions
The student and tutor discussed the student's need to improve their AutoCAD skills for creating precise shop drawings for cabinet construction. They covered techniques for accurate drafting, troubleshooting printing issues, and the application of line weights. The tutor also briefly introduced isometric drafting as a visualization tool, and they planned to schedule further sessions.
