Early Data, Better Buildings: Making Smarter Design Decisions from Day One
Earn 1 AIA LU.
In this course, we’ll explore how AEC professionals can optimize and enrich their pre-design and concept design processes. Join John Cummins, Architect and Product Marketing Manager at SketchUp, as he examines how leveraging diverse data sources in early-stage design can strengthen a project’s speed, efficiency and quality.
In this 50-minute session, we’ll look at SketchUp’s ability to combine survey information, including point clouds, topo-surveys, Revit models and local map data, alongside environmental analysis, sketches and photographs, to create a rich sandbox from which a project can be developed and visualized.
Whether you’re looking to improve your design process, make more informed design decisions, or win more work with compelling presentations, this course will equip you with the tools and knowledge to succeed.
