eDesign Platform Kitchen & Bath Importing using Chief Architect, Revit, AutoCAD & SketchUp (Shop or Pro)
Learn to properly export, convert and import your Kitchen & Bath designs for rendering in the eDesign Platform.
In this course you will to learn how to render your kitchen or bath designs that you have built in Chief Architect, Revit and AutoCAD 3d. I'll be showing you 3 projects as they are modeled in the programs, then all the way through to the final render. I'll show you how to best set up your files for export, then how to convert it Sketchup, and prepared the Sketchup model for the platform. Finally we'll set up the room in the platform, upload the model, adjust the materials and lighting and render.
This course assumes that you already know the basics of the program you want to integrate. The lessons start with a kitchen or bath already designed and built, then I take you through the integration process.
You will need Sketchup Shop or Sketchup Pro for program integrations. Sketchup Free does not allow imports of other file types.
I use Chief Architect x12, Revit 2018 & AutoCAD 2017.
