Great beginners course to Sketchup, gained the ability to create geometrical shapes and begin creating superstructure models. May require further investigation into collaborating ground models into 3D site plans.

Max C. has delivered the 2-day SketchUp course very well. He was clear and concise, and delivered the course with lots of humour and a friendly, positive attitude. He was able to start from absolute basics for those on the course who had never used SketchUp before, but he also provided lots of high-level expertise which was very useful to me - a SketchUp user with a few years of self-taught experience. Max is an excellent teacher, and this was a very positive experience.
