Class overview
As a Rhino, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD tutor, I specialize in teaching students of all levels - from school to college to adult/professional learners. My teaching style is engaging, collaborative, adaptable, and patient. I focus on problem-solving and tailor my approach to each student's individual needs. Through project-based assessments and detailed design briefs, I help students develop a strong portfolio for a successful career in architecture. By evaluating their design skills and creating personalized learning plans, I have assisted students in gaining admission to top architecture schools and securing internships in architecture and design firms.

Architecture concept taught by Ar.Prakrati
Ar.Prakrati instructed Jack Brett on applying materials and textures within SketchUp, including adjusting scale, color, and opacity, and importing external textures. Jack practiced applying these techniques to his 3D model. They scheduled the next class for Thursday to discuss exterior massing, elevations, and sections.

Ar.Prakrati taught Brendan Pyke how to design kitchen cabinets and a sink in SketchUp, covering basic modeling techniques. Brendan practiced grouping, creating shapes, adding depth, using the offset tool, copying elements, and importing from the SketchUp Warehouse, receiving guidance from Ar.Prakrati. They plan to continue the lessons.
Grouping in SketchUp
Component Warehouse
Creating Cabinets
Using Offset Tool
Ar.Prakrati guided Brendan through the beginning stages of designing a 3D kitchen in SketchUp, focusing on creating the walls, floor, and placing base cabinets using the tape measure and push/pull tools. They experienced some technical difficulties at the start. They plan to reconnect for further practice.

Ar. Prakrati taught Sam Housley how to use layers in a CAD program to organize architectural drawings. They practiced creating a floor plan, adjusting line weights, and scaling objects. Sam was assigned a practice floor plan to complete before the next lesson.
Layers
Layer Properties
Setting Up Layers
Locking Layers
Ar.Prakrati trained Jack Brett on SketchUp, covering object manipulation (importing, moving, aligning, grouping), model stability, basic design workflows (units, layouts), and the 3D warehouse. They also explored the online version to address crashing issues, and Ar.Prakrati assigned practice projects with a follow-up session scheduled for May 28th.
