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 in creating a custom AutoCAD drawing template to streamline future drafting work by consolidating essential layers. They practiced saving this template and using it for new drawings, then applied these skills to separate existing multi-building drawings into individual files. The next session is planned for the following day.
Isometric Drawing Basics
Managing Text Height in CAD
Copying and Pasting CAD Objects
CAD Template Creation
Importing AutoCAD Files into SketchUp
Dimensioning and Precise Modeling
Push/Pull for Extrusion and Creating 3D Forms
Understanding and Using the Rotate Tool
SketchUp Basics: Navigation and Drawing Tools
The student and tutor worked through persistent technical issues in AutoCAD, focusing on resolving problems with default drawing templates and hatch settings. They practiced troubleshooting steps to reset configurations and learned how to properly import and scale blocks for architectural drawings, with plans to practice these skills further.

Hatch Settings and Customization
Template Management in AutoCAD
The class covered the fundamental elements of design, including line, shape, form, color, texture, space, light, pattern, and materials. The student reviewed and applied these concepts by analyzing examples and discussing their impact on perception and emotion. The tutor also assisted the student with downloading and installing AutoCAD for Mac, with plans to use it for drafting exercises in future sessions.

Elements of Design
The Tutor guided the Student through the fundamental principles of design, including balance, scale, proportion, harmony, and emphasis. They also began the process of setting up design software like AutoCAD, with the Student practicing the initial steps of account creation and verification for free student versions. The homework assignment involves finding visual examples for each design principle discussed.

The Tutor and Student worked on using AutoCAD commands to create architectural drawings, focusing on floor plan elements and structural components like timber stacks and roof trusses. They practiced commands like OFFSET, XL, and COPY for efficient design and planned to continue practicing these skills in future sessions.
