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 guided the student through the technical aspects of creating architectural sections and elevations using AutoCAD. They covered detailed drawing techniques for elements like windows, false ceilings, kitchen counters, cabinets, and refrigerators, providing practical advice for accurate representation. The session concluded with plans to share reference files and discuss specific details in future sessions.
Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP) Fundamentals
Creating Building Sections
Designing False Ceilings
Kitchen Counter and Cabinetry Details
Representing Furniture in Sections
The Student and Tutor worked on refining AutoCAD skills, focusing on scaling and overlaying imported PDF plans, managing line weights for better visualization, and cleaning up drawing elements. They also practiced using layer properties to control line thickness and planned to continue practicing these techniques.
Line Weight and Display Settings in AutoCAD
Overlaying and Layer Management in AutoCAD
Efficient Command Usage in AutoCAD
Scaling PDF Imports in AutoCAD
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.
Backsplash Creation
Flipping Objects Along an Axis
Using Groups Instead of Components
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.
Hatch Edit and Associativity
Dimensioning Best Practices
Multiple Offset and Copy Methods
Divide Command for Equal Spacing
Array Command: Rectangular Arrays
Scaling Imported PDFs
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.

Spatial Planning and Furniture Layout
Interior Design Principles: Lighting and Electrical Layouts
Detailing in Architectural Drawings: Sections and Elevations
Demolition and Construction Plans
The Tutor and Student worked on practical AutoCAD skills related to manufacturing, focusing on precise measurements, object manipulation, and unit conversion for laser cutting. They practiced cleaning up drawings with overlapping entities and discussed strategies for ensuring accuracy when translating designs between imperial and metric units for machine operation.
