This channel is where real-world design meets real-time results. Hosted by Mike Brightman—author of The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture and creator of the ConDoc Tools extension—we focus on practical strategies for using SketchUp Pro to go from concept to construction documents, fast.
You’ll find live modeling sessions, project breakdowns, and tutorials that showcase the same workflows we use every day in our studio and at the SketchUp 3D Summit, an annual training event for architects, interior designers, and builders who want to push past the basics.
Whether you’re here to streamline your process, level up your documentation, or just get lines on paper faster, you’re in the right place.
