Content

In the course, you will familiarize yourself with the use of the modeling program in the area planning of the event. You will learn how to use the basic functions of the free SketchUp for Web 3d program that works for private use and defines area planning. You apply your skills either in drawing an existing or imaginary event area and in 3d modeling.

With the help of the program, you can easily try and modify the location of different elements in the event area, always with the right dimensions. You can use the program to draw, for example, the base map or other guide map required as an attachment to the rescue plan, or visualize it in a 3d model for the partners.
