Description

Product Description

SketchUp is not just used for simple, boxy 3D models… it is more than capable of producing flowing, organic topography models too….

In this short, 3-hour course, delivered online through the magic of video conferencing, we look at how to create and intuitively edit advanced ‘quad-mesh’ topography from contour lines or point-heights.

Take your landscaping to the next level in this guided online course, as we cover the basics of Toposhaper & Artisan – SketchUp extensions that are used to create more advanced topography meshes than the native Sandbox tool will allow/.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
