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.
Mastery of CAD software in 4 weeks
90% of students feel confident using AutoCAD, Rhino, and Revit.
Collaborative design learning
85% of students benefit from group design exercises.
Clear step-by-step instructions
Students appreciate simple explanations of complex software.
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 concept taught by Vinkal
The session focused on AutoCAD, specifically troubleshooting drawing errors, using quick dimensioning techniques (QDIM), and setting up a drawing for printing. The Student practiced using the QDIM command, changing background and element colors for better visibility, and creating a boundary for printing. The pair plan to continue practicing and addressing further questions in the next session.
Quick Dimension (QDIM) Command
Changing Background Color
Revision Clouds for Annotations
Adding Leaders (Arrows) with Text
Modifying Arrow Size
Using Properties for Object Modification
Regenerate Command
The student encountered issues with scaling and overlaying imported PDF drawings in AutoCAD. The Tutor provided guidance on using the 'scale' command with the reference option to correctly resize the drawings. The student will email the PDF file to the tutor for a practical demonstration of the resizing process.
Importing PDFs with Layers
Scale Command with Reference Option (SCALE > R)
Drawing Arrangement: Linear Placement vs. Overlaying
The Student and Tutor addressed issues with dimension visibility and practiced using the stretch command in AutoCAD. They learned how to create a reusable template file using the W block command to save preferred settings. The Tutor assigned homework to practice drafting a small plumbing drawing using layers.

WBLOCK Command
Importance of Layers
Isometric Drafting Considerations
The session focused on practicing various AutoCAD commands including drawing lines at specific angles, using layers for organization, and mastering the offset, stretch, and scale tools. The student practiced these commands and worked on applying them to a file from their office. The next step involves further exploration and application of these commands to the student's existing files.

Scale Command
Offset Command: Single and Multiple
Drawing Lines at Specific Angles
Layers: Organization and Depth
The Student and Tutor practiced AutoCAD commands like Join, Explode, Block, Offset, Fillet, Hatch, and dimensioning. The student learned efficient techniques for object selection, modifying blocks, setting units, drawing with precise dimensions, and creating parallel lines. A follow-up session was scheduled to continue practicing these commands and address isometric drawing challenges.

Offset Command
Ortho Mode and Angle Control
Fillet Command
Hatch Command
The Tutor introduced several AutoCAD commands including trim, extra trim, offset, extend line, stretch, fillet, extend, mirror, and copy. The Student practiced using these commands to manipulate and modify a drawing. The session concluded with plans to practice these commands and communicate through WhatsApp.
