Architecture Tutor at [University Name] | 3D Modelling, Urban Design & Planning

Prakrati assisted Sophia with her interior design project, delving into material selections for a bar and kitchen. During their CAD lesson, they also reviewed techniques for drafting doors, walls, and stairs. Sophia honed her skills by practicing door placement and hatch application in AutoCAD. They arranged a follow-up lesson for Sunday evening to continue the project.

Ar. Prakrati guided Justine through the process of creating a detailed floor plan for an office space. Utilizing SketchUp, they meticulously worked from scanned images and hand-drawn sketches, ensuring precise representation of dimensions, wall thicknesses, and architectural features such as doors and windows. Upon completion, Ar. Prakrati uploaded the floor plan to Google Drive for Justine's review, with the understanding that Justine would identify window locations in preparation for their upcoming lesson.

Ar.Prakrati introduced a learner to basic AutoCAD commands, including line, circle, rectangle, and offset, with a focus on creating precise shapes and combining them to draw a cabinet. The individual, who is based in Killeen, practiced setting units, drawing lines of specific lengths, creating circles with specified diameters, and using the offset command to create a shaker-style cabinet. Ar.Prakrati sent reference images of the commands used for further practice.

Ar.Prakrati guided Sophia through an architectural drafting lesson, focusing on window placement, correcting misalignments, and using hatches to represent walls in CAD software. Sophia gained practical experience by applying these techniques to her floor plan and learned methods for editing and refining her drawing. They scheduled another lesson for further practice and review.

Ar.Prakrati guided Jack through SketchUp, focusing on 3D modeling techniques using floor plans, specifically working on a villa project. Jack practiced creating walls and understanding site development, with Ar.Prakrati providing guidance on organizing elements and troubleshooting issues. Jack will continue working on the villa project for the next session.

Ar.Prakrati introduced Justine to the core functionalities of SketchUp, guiding her through setting units, customizing toolbars, and creating basic 3D models. Justine actively practiced setting up viewports, using the tape measure tool, and designing a room layout complete with walls, doors, and windows. For their next lesson, Justine will gather real-world dimensions for an office space project to begin her modeling work.
