MEET TUTOR ANNA

When I first started with SketchUp, I faced the same frustrations many beginners do—confusing tools, scattered tutorials, and the feeling of not knowing where to begin. Those challenges pushed me to break the program down step-by-step, simplify the workflow, and ultimately create the course I wished existed when I started.

Today, I run BALIKA HOMES, a design-led studio rooted in German precision and open-minded creativity. Through custom 3D designs, SketchUp tutorials, digital tools, DIYs, and curated vintage finds, I’ve built a space that supports designers, students, homeowners, and DIYers around the world.

The Ultimate SketchUp Course is my way of sharing everything I’ve learned—so you can skip the overwhelm and start creating with clarity, confidence, and joy.

Frequently asked questions

IS THE SKETCHUP LICENCE INCLUDED IN THE COURSE PRICE?

Please note: The SketchUp Pro license is NOT included in this price and must be purchased separately from the official
SketchUp website. If you are a student with an enrollment letter from a school, you can contact a local reseller via the SketchUp website to see if you are eligible for the affordable student license. If you have any
questions, feel free to ask me anytime.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE IN SKETCHUP TO START?

No prior SketchUp experience required for my “ULTIMATE SKETCHUP COURSE”. Suitable for all levels, it features engaging video modules on an intuitive online platform. Tailored for interior designers, it offers
insights into design techniques and principles for creating remarkable spaces.

HOW FAST CAN I LEARN SKETCHUP?

The learning curve for SketchUp varies significantly among designers. While some effortlessly navigate the lessons and seamlessly integrate the software into their design workflow, others may require ample time for practice and breaks. My Comprehensive course currently comprises over 80 lessons and 27 time-lapse videos ("optional" time-lapse videos for building furniture), each ranging from 3 to 15 minutes. If you dedicate time to watch, let's say, 8 videos per week and allow yourself to practice another 30-60 min (spending around 6-9 hours per week on learning), you could potentially finish the course in a 3-month period if not sooner. Alternatively, if you need more time and half your weekly dedication to 4 videos per week and allow yourself about 4.5 hours per week on learning, you could complete the course within the 6-month period. Note: These are estimations. The speed of learning varies individually, and there is no definitive timeframe; I can only provide estimations. Some modules may be more challenging, requiring additional practice. Ultimately, the speed of learning is highly dependent on the individual.

WHICH VERSION OF SKETCHUP IS THE COURSE BUILT UPON

I created the entire course using SketchUp Pro 2023 & 2024 on a Mac. For the best learning experience, I recommend starting with the free trial of SketchUp Pro and then upgrading to the full Pro license. Please avoid the SketchUp Go version, as it does not include SketchUp LayOut, which is essential for this course.

If you’re a student, check with your local SketchUp reseller about the student Pro license, which offers full SketchUp Pro features at a more affordable price.

You’ll also receive bonus videos regularly, ensuring you stay up to date with new techniques and features as they evolve.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAC AND THE PC SKETCHUP PRO VERSION?

There are some differences in the use of SketchUp Pro on Mac and Windows, although the basic functionality of the software is the same on both platforms. One of the main differences is the user interface.
SketchUp Pro for Mac uses a typical Mac-style user interface, while SketchUp Pro for Windows uses a more standard Windows-style interface. This means that some menus and controls may be in different locations or
have slightly different appearances, but the overall functionality is very similar. In terms of performance, SketchUp Pro should run similarly on both Mac and Windows systems, provided that the hardware meets the
software's minimum requirements. Overall, while there are some differences in the use of SketchUp Pro on Mac and Windows, they are relatively minor and if you are fine with those slight adjustments (Some Settings may be at a different location), it should not impact your ability to start learning through our courses using either MAC or PC.

WHEN DOES THE COURSE START AND FINISH?

Upon purchase, you’ll receive lifetime access to the full course content. This means you can return to the material anytime, at your own pace, without any expiration or renewal required.

All video lessons are entirely self-paced, giving you the freedom to start whenever you’re ready and revisit any module as often as you need. You’re fully in control of your learning journey.

I’ve designed each lesson to be clear, concise, and step-by-step, so you can build your skills confidently without feeling overwhelmed.

IS THERE ANY HELP PROVIDED DURING THE COURSE?

Rest assured. If you have any questions during the course you can always
contact me via E-Mail: Info@balikahomes.com. We also offer 1:1 tutoring in case you need more personal hands-on training. You can book 1:1
coaching through our shop and we will arrange a date & time that works for both.

DO I HAVE TO BE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER TO JOIN?

Absolutely not. Although the course is primarily geared towards interior designers, it is thoughtfully designed to be inclusive of individuals from various backgrounds. The goal is to guide you, regardless of your
starting point, to become a proficient SketchUp user for interior design. While the course covers fundamental interior design concepts, the main focus is on providing you with the skills to adeptly utilize SketchUp for crafting detailed 3D models of interior spaces. Whether you're an established Interior Designer or just embarking on this journey, the course is tailored for anyone interested in mastering 3D design and scaled drawings.

IS THIS COURSE OFFERED INTERNATIONALLY?

Absolutely! Regardless of where you are located—whether in the US, Australia, Europe, or anywhere else in the world—my course is entirely remote. You can access it through this learning platform and watch the
videos at your convenience, anytime, anywhere. Please note that the entire course is conducted in English.

IS THIS COURSE TOUGHT IN MM OR INCHES?

Though the primary unit of measurement in this course is millimeters, rest assured that I will furnish you with the required Measurements in inches whenever necessary. Throughout the SketchUp tutorials, you'll gain the knowledge to select your preferred unit for constructing your designs. Additionally, in SketchUp LayOut, all templates are thoughtfully supplied in both millimeters and inches, offering you the flexibility to choose according to your preference.

WILL I LEARN SKETCHUP LAYOUT?

Absolutely! In Module 11, you'll delve into the intricacies of SketchUp Layout, discovering how to leverage your own house project to craft meticulously scaled floorplans, spatial plans, and elevation drawings. I'll guide you through the process of creating a lighting plan, equipping you with essential templates and symbols. This comprehensive training ensures that you are well-prepared to produce stunning and professional documents.

IN WHAT LANGUAGE IS THIS COURSE TAUGHT?

The course is offered in English only.
