About your tutor
I am Divya Garg, a Master’s degree holder in architecture with a strong passion for teaching and mentoring aspiring designers. I specialize in architectural software such as Rhino, SketchUp, and AutoCAD, focusing on beginners and intermediate learners who want to build both technical skills and conceptual clarity. I believe that architecture can feel overwhelming at first, so my teaching approach is centered on simplifying complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. I adapt to each student’s learning pace and style, ensuring they develop a strong foundation while gaining confidence in using these tools effectively. My teaching style combines structured learning with real-world application. I create tailored study plans, assist with assignments, conduct mock tests, and provide career guidance to support overall growth. My sessions are interactive and hands-on, encouraging students to actively practice and apply what they learn. I also ensure a supportive and flexible environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, including adapting to special learning needs when required. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also develop critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills, enabling them to succeed in the field of architecture and design.

Architecture concepts taught by Divya
The Student and Tutor continued practicing SketchUp 3D modeling for interior design, focusing specifically on constructing a kitchen layout. They worked on creating cabinets and countertops with precise dimensions, and explored importing and integrating external 3D models from online libraries. The session also covered advanced SketchUp functionalities for presentation, including applying materials, using different visual styles, generating section planes, and setting camera views for technical drawings and rendering export.
Efficient 3D Model Sourcing
Foundational SketchUp Modeling Techniques
Preparing Models for External Rendering & Documentation
Visualizing Designs with Materials and Styles
Precision Modeling with Snapping and Groups
The Student and Tutor continued working on a SketchUp model of a house, completing the remaining windows and constructing the full staircase, including treads and landings. They then began building the first floor, adding exterior and interior walls and creating door openings. The Student was reminded to save the model and will continue the project in the next session.
Modular Component Creation & Grouping
Multi-Level Structure & Internal Layout
Efficient Duplication & Transformation
Basic Geometric Modeling & Openings
Trapping Pieces Strategy
Double Attack
Considering Opponent's Ideas
Back Rank Checkmate Prevention
The Student and Tutor focused on foundational SketchUp skills, beginning with importing CAD files and configuring units for accuracy. They practiced navigating the 3D workspace, selecting elements, and creating basic architectural structures like walls, door frames, and window openings from an imported plan. The next session will continue with detailing windows, doors, and interior elements.
Extruding 2D Plans to 3D Walls (Push/Pull)
Efficient Selection & Model Cleanup
Structuring Models with Groups
Drawing Precision: Snapping
Axes & Line Tool
Ensuring Accurate Scale: CAD Import & Unit Settings
SketchUp Interface & Core Navigation
The Student and Tutor addressed initial software access issues before proceeding with the core lesson. The session focused on the workflow of preparing and importing AutoCAD drawings into SketchUp, including cleaning CAD files, correcting scale, and beginning 3D modeling by extruding walls and creating openings for doors and windows. They also discussed SketchUp extensions for enhanced efficiency.
Importing & Preparing CAD Drawings in SketchUp
Scaling Imported CAD & Image Files
Working with Groups & Components: Exploding & Organization
Creating Surfaces (Faces) from Exploded Lines
3D Extrusion with Push/Pull & Creating Openings
The Student received an introduction to the fundamental interface and essential tools of SketchUp, a 3D modeling software, including drawing, modification, and visualization commands. Key concepts like axes, object selection, grouping, and components were explained. For homework, the Student is to ensure their SketchUp software is functional and to prepare a 2D plan and an image for 3D modeling practice in the upcoming session.
