About your tutor
I’m Margam Akshay Kumar, architecture graduate tutor with over a year of experience in training architecture enthusiasts.My expertise lies in 3D Modelling,Sketchup,AutoCAD,Revit and more.I offer personalized learning in architecture for beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners. From career guidance to exam prep, I cover it all. Whether you need help with assignments, portfolio development, or even cultural immersion, I've got you covered. Let's embark on this architecture journey together and unlock your full potential. I believe the best way to learn architecture is through practical application. During my sessions, I explain concepts using real project examples, step-by-step demonstrations, and industry-standard workflows. I encourage students to ask questions, think creatively, and develop problem-solving skills rather than simply memorizing concepts. My goal is to help students build confidence in software such as Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Rhino while also improving their design thinking, BIM understanding, and presentation skills. I am committed to creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where every student can progress at their own pace and achieve their academic and professional goals.

Architecture concepts taught by Margam Akshay
The session focused on troubleshooting Enscape installation for SketchUp rendering and extensively covered fundamental AutoCAD drafting techniques. The Tutor demonstrated how to set up drawing units, utilize pre-made blocks, and manage lines for a plan, contrasting these manual steps with Revit's automated workflow. They also discussed career paths in architecture and urban planning, and the importance of learning software like Revit, with the Tutor sharing relevant AutoCAD files for the Student's practice.

The session covered practical steps in SketchUp for adding doors and windows, emphasizing accurate placement and scaling. The tutor and student also discussed techniques for creating architectural elements like plinths and slabs, and troubleshooting common modeling issues related to wall alignment and element spacing. The next session is planned for tomorrow.
Component Alignment and Sizing Principles
Creating Building Elements: Plinth and Slab
Importing and Aligning Components
Wall Manipulation and Correction
The class focused on technical skills in AutoCAD and SketchUp for architectural design. The student practiced setting up drawing units, configuring dimension styles, scaling imported CAD files, and creating 3D walls in SketchUp using groups and proper line connections. The next session will involve continuing these practices.
