Design and Model a 3D Pool Resort in SketchUp

Learners will analyze resort layouts, design accurate 2D plans, construct detailed 3D architectural models, integrate reusable components, and finalize a professional pool resort project using SketchUp. By the end of this course, learners will be able to confidently transform conceptual ideas into a complete, presentation-ready 3D resort model. This course provides hands-on, project-based learning focused on a real-world pool resort case study. Learners progress step by step—from understanding the project requirements and creating a scaled site plan, to modeling the main resort building, swimming pool, cottages, and landscape elements. The course emphasizes practical SketchUp workflows such as accurate measurement, extrusion, component reuse, alignment, and model organization using tags. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end industry-style approach. Instead of isolated tool demonstrations, learners work on a single cohesive project, gaining skills that directly apply to architectural visualization, interior design, landscaping, and 3D modeling roles. Completing this course helps learners build confidence, improve spatial design skills, and create a portfolio-ready SketchUp project that demonstrates real-world design and modeling expertise
