SketchUp for Timber Framing

Learn to digitally draw timber frame plans and produce shop drawings.

SketchUp is ideal for designing timber frame structures, with tools to draw timbers, detail joinery, and produce shop drawings. This online course begins with a brief SketchUp intro, then dives into modeling dimensioned timbers, assembling bents, adding braces and rafters, and replicating frame elements. You'll also learn to use Layout to create complete, measured shop drawings.
