I Planned That™

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

"This is a REALLY amazing course! Sketchup is not easy to learn but you make it very digestible. Thank you!"

"Oh my goodness! This course is SO amazing! I'm so impressed. I'm in the middle of the SketchUp 101 section and it's very easy to understand. I love it!! Okay, now I'll stop gushing about it and do some more!"

"I am only part of the way through the course, but I can already tell that this is one of the best courses I've seen. I already feel like I am picking up SketchUp better!"

Does SketchUp cost anything? You can use Sketchup for free–all you need is internet access. During the lessons, we will teach everything using the 2022 free version of Sketchup.

I tried SketchUp before and gave up. Will this course work for me? Yes! Trust me, I understand how you feel. When I first started using SketchUp it felt impossible--I almost threw in the towel multiple times.

Here's the thing about SketchUp: it's easy once it "clicks". But getting it to click can be really difficult when you're trying to figure it out on your own or piecing together random YouTube videos. Here's why: SketchUp is a super powerful tool. It's designed to do way more than DIY project plans. There are a ton of features and tools and extensions and blah blah blah that you never even need to touch to create awesome DIY plans. In fact, there are really just a few key tools and tricks that you need to grasp.

As you take this course, I promise SketchUp will become easier than you expected. We'll walk you through what you actually need to know and the simple little tricks that'll take SketchUp from being so frustrating that you want to chuck your computer through the wall to a simple, yet powerful visualizing software.

I'm a beginner DIYer. Will this course work for me? This course assumes you already know the foundation of DIY. We won’t talk about using power tools, what a pocket hole is, or how to actually build a project. If you’re getting started and want to learn how to DIY, you’ll want to start with I Made That™. It’s our course designed to take you from DIY wannabe to fearless furniture builder.

If you’ve already built a project, or two, or fifty and feel comfortable with the basics of DIY, this course is a great fit. It was created to unlock the full potential of DIY. Instead of feeling limited by the project plans that are currently available, you can create your own that are tailored to your style and space.
