Designing a Tiny House with SketchUp

Hi, I'm Scott Onstott and welcome to Designing a Tiny House with SketchUp. In this course, we will import a 2D floor plan and use it as a template to build the 3D model of the tiny house. Unlike many other architectural models that you might make in SketchUp, we are going to build every stud, every rafter, every piece of insulation and so on. So that we can be sure that everything will fit in the limited space. This added complexity gives us many opportunities to learn a wide variety of modelling techniques. We will be using Components for repetitive elements like studs, Groups for unique objects, Layers to control the visibility of related systems, Bitmaps for realistic textures and much more.

I'm a big fan of tiny houses. And I'm excited to show you all the space-saving features in this design. So let's get started.
