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.

Architecture concept taught by Vinkal
Vinkal Joshi assisted Jakob Hendriks with his AutoCAD assignment, addressing issues related to scale bars, image scaling, and PDF plotting. Vinkal provided a CAD block for a scale bar and demonstrated the 'scale' command for accurate drawing scaling. Jakob will focus on tracing and layering his site plan, and Vinkal offered to review the file before submission.

Vinkal is currently assisting Edaet with her building proposal, providing guidance on crucial AutoCAD aspects like creating elevations and sections. During their recent lesson, Vinkal helped Edaet with specific AutoCAD techniques, such as rotating text within dimensions and generating elevations from existing plans using XLV lines. The discussion also extended to drawing intricate sections, including the complexities of staircases and various wall details. Furthermore, they covered broader design considerations like mezzanine layouts, ensuring proper roof access, and strategically placing stairs, alongside troubleshooting any annotation issues that arose.

In a CAD training session on July 23, 2025, Vinkal mentors Edaet on architectural drafting in AutoCAD. They cover topics like creating sections, using commands and shortcuts, detailing elements (walls, windows, ceilings), and maintaining accuracy. Vinkal emphasizes systematic approaches, layer management, and efficient techniques. The conversation also extends to career advice for Edaet's new job, discussing the architectural profession's challenges, licensing, job market realities, and the importance of communication and site management skills.
