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 instruction on advanced AutoCAD techniques to improve efficiency and accuracy. The Student practiced hatching, isolating drawing components, and changing line properties. The Student was assigned to practice the new techniques and will continue the lesson in the next session.
Reference Points and Moving Objects
Modifying Line Types and Properties
Grouping Objects for Simplified Manipulation
Layer Management: Isolating and Copying Drawings
Extended Lines (XL) for Guiding Lines
Hatching Efficiency with Explode and Trim
The session involved troubleshooting file-saving issues and practicing precision drawing techniques in AutoCAD, with a focus on manipulating arcs and creating templates. The student worked on refining a template and learned how to use the 'Wblock' command. The student was assigned homework to practice drafting a new image using the techniques learned.
File Saving and Read-Only Files
Explode and Join for Polylines
Using Construction Lines (XLINE)
Offset Command
Fillet Command and Sharp Corners
Scaling with Reference
WBLOCK Command for Templates
The student worked on a plumbing assignment in AutoCAD, focusing on drawing and connecting toilet and shower plumbing lines in a provided architectural plan. The session involved using Mline, trim, explode, and layer management commands. The student will continue the assignment in the next session, focusing on incorporating more advanced commands and addressing challenging pipeline routing scenarios.

Basic AutoCAD Commands
Importance of Remembering Commands
Drawing Plumbing Elements
The session involved a student learning advanced SketchUp techniques from a tutor, focusing on creating sections, saving scenes, and effectively using components from the 3D Warehouse. The student practiced manipulating these features and received guidance on best practices for efficient modeling. A list of SketchUp shortcuts was provided for future practice.
Grouping and Object Placement Best Practices
Utilizing the 3D Warehouse for Assets
Creating and Managing Scenes in SketchUp
SketchUp Toolbar Customization
The session focused on AutoCAD, covering commands like Join, Group, Block, Layers, and scaling between millimeters and feet/inches. The Student practiced using Group and Block commands and converting a drawing from millimeters to inches using the scale and reference commands. The Tutor recommended the Student practice the commands learned and will revisit them in the next session.
Explode Command
Layers
Scaling with Reference
Block Command
Group Command
Join Command
Move Command
The Tutor guided the Student through the initial setup of AutoCAD, covering essential commands and drawing techniques. The Student practiced setting units, creating basic shapes, and manipulating objects using move, rotate, and mirror commands. The Student will send example templates to the Tutor for the next session to practice converting real-world sketches into AutoCAD drawings.
