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 tutor and student worked on refining scaling techniques in SketchUp, focusing on accurately resizing imported models from the 3D Warehouse. They practiced using the tape measure tool for setting dimensions and then applied the scale tool, with the tutor providing detailed instruction on precise manipulation and the student practicing these techniques.
3D Warehouse: Model Integration
Rotational Alignment and Axis Control
Precise Scaling in SketchUp
SketchUp Toolbars and Palettes
The Tutor and Student reviewed and practiced AutoCAD commands, including 'offset', 'angular dimensions', 'revision cloud', and 'table creation'. They addressed issues with drawing units and text scaling, and the Tutor plans to provide a setup checklist for future sessions. The student will continue working on plumbing designs.
Revision Clouds and Table Creation in AutoCAD
Drawing Units and Offset Command
Measuring Angles with the Angular Dimension Tool
Dimension Styles and Text Height Management
The session focused on advanced AutoCAD techniques for handling imported PDF files. The student learned how to modify text and dimension styles, manage line weights and plotting, and optimize workflow through grouping and layer management. They also practiced scaling imported drawings and generating clear PDF outputs with specific line weight properties.
Plotting and PDF Export Settings
Object Grouping and Manipulation
Working with PDF Imports in AutoCAD
Layer Management and Line Weight Control
Understanding and Modifying Dimension Styles
The student and tutor focused on learning SketchUp, covering software setup, importing CAD files, and understanding fundamental modeling concepts like groups and components. They practiced creating faces from imported lines and explored using the 3D Warehouse for assets, with plans to focus on detailed model manipulation and component editing in future sessions.

3D Warehouse and Asset Management
Accessing and Applying Materials
Using Extensions: Face Up
The tutor and student worked on importing an AutoCAD drawing into SketchUp and then enhancing it with 3D models from the 3D Warehouse. They practiced applying materials and textures, such as tiling, and refined the model's dimensions and placement. The tutor plans to share the developed SketchUp file and provide resources for future practice and revision.
