SketchUp Tutors & Services: 1-1 Zoom Help from a Pro

Vladimir Simonovski is a structural engineer and co-founder of structural consulting

company comprised of highly skilled engineers, designers and

forward-thinkers.

Prior to co-starting his own company, Vladimir gathered extensive

design and construction knowledge and experience by working on

high profile infrastructure projects around the U.S. On some projects,

his experience was gathered by being a part of the design team and

on other projects Vladimir made his presence known in the field, by

directly getting involved in construction, as part of the construction

team. This balanced mix of experience, coupled with a strong work

ethic, gave Vladimir the outlet for his interest in reinventing how

problems are viewed and finding solutions by utilizing technologies

such as 3D modeling, virtual reality, 3D printing, scanning,

implementation of new materials and etc.

His enthusiasm can be seen from the numerous three-dimensional

modeling manuals that he has prepared over the years. Vladimir has

conducted training for construction companies on the effective use of

SketchUp application and how it can fill the effectiveness gap where

other CAD applications cannot. During these training sessions, a

special emphasis is given to the idea of Information Modeling and the

proper organization in the heavy civil industry. Additionally, his 3D

modeling work was published by the American Society of Civil

Engineers – ASCE, under the practice periodicals on structural design

and construction. The paper was written based on a real-life beam

erection scenario, in which Vladimir was heavily involved and where

3D modeling was used extensively to plan and test multiple critical

girder pick. Additionally, Vladimir also published a book titled

SketchUp for Civil Engineering and the Heavy Construction Industry:

Modeling Workflow and Problem Solving for Design and Construction,

where a large number of everyday uses for SketchUp in the

construction industry were compiled in an easy to use manual.

Hi, My name is Joshua. I have a graduated The Architectural Design program at Long Beach City College but I’m not going to bore you with all those technical terms and all that: “I did this and that”.

I’m a married man who still thinks that he’s the man of the house but I always end up doing what my wife says and wants. I know a thing for sure: I Love what i’m doing so much that even my wife can’t interrupt me while I’m working at something . I love doing 3D photorealistic videos and renderings and floor plans so much that if You ask me nicely I will work for you for free haha. Disclaimer: my passion for architecture is contagious and there’s no vaccine against it. I once went to my guitar class and we ended up spending the hour showing my teacher how to measure his own house using a laser distance measurer. And that’s how you find out that music is another passion of mine.

I will love to get in touch with You and work together on some projects.

Hello! My name is Calvin. I’m an architectural designer with a Masters degree in Architecture and Building Technology from Yale Univeristy. I currently work at an international architecture firm, and have past experience in everything from fabrication shops to parametric design firms. I grew up playing music, always learning and playing new instruments. When I discovered the field of architecture, I started to see technology as an instrument by which we could create a more beautiful world. From parametrics to game design, I’m proficient in a number of architectural, rendering, data visualization, graphic design, robotics, sound engineering, and animation softwares. Through learning these tools, together we can visualize the world around us!

Hi, my name is Geoff. I have been a professional designer since 1999, and a 3D modeling teacher since 2005. I’ve taught Sketchup at Front Range Community College, the University of Colorado and have taught hundreds of students online. My interest in SketchUp started with my love for snowboarding. I started designing and building snowboard parks when I was 18. SketchUp was the perfect tool for the job. It allowed me to quickly draw the 3D ideas I had in my head. In the summers, I started teaching architects how to use the program. Compared to the complex curves of terrain parks, the straight lines in architecture were easy. Over the years I made thousands of models and have expanded my skills to include product design, 3D print modeling, construction documents, Layout, piping models, topographic models, and various other projects. SketchUp has helped me realize my love for design, modeling, and teaching. I’d like share my love for the program with you, complete your drawings, and help you meet your deadlines. No matter where you live, what age, or what ability level, I can help you realize your dreams in 3D!

I specialize in architecture, but I have a background in design-build/manufacturing and enjoy exploring all realms of art & design.

Sketchup and Layout are very valuable tools for any designer or builder. Having the ability to quickly develop and endlessly explore a 3D design will give you an advantage over your competition. Twinmotion & Enscape are SketchUp plugins that are used to produce real-time environments from the same model. You no longer have to be a computer genius to create amazing realistic content.

I enjoy teaching others about his creative process while keeping the lessons fun and informative. In my free time I enjoy camping, creating music, skateboarding, learning new software, and anything that challenges me.

Joanne has been deep in the world of interiors for over 15 years in Toronto and internationally. She has worked on high end commercial and residential projects that have pushed the bounds of innovation and creativity, always striving to achieve the best final product while using the most current and efficient methods.

She believes that good design is invaluable, not only to your space, but to your life. Whichever four walls you find yourself standing between are shaping your experiences and your memories. They should be the best.

Joanne has been using a full SketchUp and LayOut workflow for her business for the past 3 years. You can take a look at some of her examples here – SketchUp Portfolio (swisterski.com).

Next to design, artwork that is entirely customized to your space is something that Joanne specializes in. Her team is aware of the impact a painting can have on a room, and have this at the forefront of their minds every time a space is being designed. Art should not be an afterthought, or something that matches what you’ve already designed. It needs to be the heart that powers the rest of the space and is vital to its existence.

I earned a B.S. in Business Management and a M.Arch. from the University of Florida. I have eighteen years of experience with a South Florida architecture firm and sixteen years practice with SketchUp. I developed and now mentor a 3D modeling and design team. The team creates nearly 150 3D models a year, with SketchUp being the core program for the day-to-day workflows to efficiently design high-end luxury homes.

For 30 years, together with my partners I have designed work totaling over $12.5 billion located throughout the US, Central America, Caribbean, and Middle East.

We have completed private residences for numerous celebrities, athletes, and CEOs throughout the region. We work discreetly with clients in communities which require a great deal of architectural correctness and an uncompromising professional reputation. World-class interior designers, as part of the team, are able to constantly achieve success due to our ability to coordinate and execute from initial design through construction.

Our partners’ direct involvement throughout the design process, along with select staff specifically trained in estate home architectural and detail, is critical to achieving the level of design and quality which estate homes require. Each residence is a unique, one-of-a-kind legacy properly providing a timeless safe investment of your time and money.

Our designs have merited over 350 national and regional design awards, and are recognized in numerous published works.

I am specifically interested in sharing my workflow and process with other architects to help use Sketchup and Layout in the most efficient way possible.
