About your tutor
I am an interior design professional with 1.5 years of industry experience and 1 year of teaching, specializing in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape rendering. I hold a Master’s in Interior Design from the UK and a Bachelor’s from India. I’ve worked on residential and commercial projects, creating detailed drawings and 3D models, and now teach students to do the same. My teaching focuses on real-world application, project-based learning, and software proficiency, helping learners build strong portfolios and practical skills for the interior design industry. I design lessons that blend creativity with precision and encourage students to visualize spaces with clarity, purpose, and technical accuracy.

Class overview
My teaching methodology combines hands-on learning with real-world project scenarios. I focus on step-by-step guidance in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape, helping students understand both the tools and their design applications. Lessons emphasize clean modeling, accurate drafting, and effective visual presentation. I encourage project-based learning, creativity, and problem-solving, while providing regular feedback and support. By integrating professional standards and practical tasks, I help students develop confidence, technical skills, and portfolio-ready work aligned with industry expectations. I also incorporate design logic and spatial thinking to prepare students for real design challenges.

Architecture concepts taught by Vinkal
The student and tutor worked on practical CAD skills, focusing on preparing floor layouts in AutoCAD for import into SketchUp. They practiced drawing, copying, moving, stretching, and trimming elements, particularly for tiling patterns, and discussed the workflow between the two software programs. The next session will focus on importing the AutoCAD work into SketchUp.
Using Reference Geometry for Precision
Advanced Copy-Pasting and Snapping in AutoCAD
Importing AutoCAD Files into SketchUp
Creating Tile Patterns with AutoCAD
The student and tutor worked on advanced SketchUp modeling techniques, focusing on precise object manipulation, including cutting, scaling, grouping, and material application. They also discussed strategies for importing and utilizing AutoCAD files for more efficient design work, with plans to practice these skills further.
Object Grouping and Manipulation
Importing CAD Files for Modeling
Using Measurement and Guide Tools
Applying Materials and Textures
Surface Trimming and Separation
The student and tutor worked through practical challenges in AutoCAD related to fabricating angled and bent parts for laser cutting. They practiced using commands like Rotate and Offset, discussed measurement precision, and explored methods for overcoming discrepancies between physical objects and digital designs, such as using image tracing and scaling.

Using Tape Measure and Guidelines
Avoiding Face Intersections
Grouping and Copy-Pasting for Repetition
Basic Shapes for Flooring
Importing and Using Existing Textures
The student and tutor reviewed AutoCAD layer management and resolved a multi-monitor display issue. They then extensively covered various interface icons and tools, including those for 2D and 3D drafting, isometric drawing, and object snapping. The session concluded with practical exercises on creating and manipulating isometric planes.
Layer Management in CAD
CAD User Interface Elements
Isometric Drawing Techniques
The student and tutor worked extensively on mastering the 'Scale' and 'Rotate' tools within SketchUp. They practiced precise object manipulation, understood the distinctions between groups and components, and learned techniques for creating architectural elements like ramps. Future practice sessions were planned.
