This course is divided into modules of 16 Sessions (4sessions per day). Each Session is of 1 1/2 hrs with a
break of 5-10 minutes and total duration of the course is 24hrs. First 8 sessions are related with 3D &
GeoModeling where it comprises of Basics & Advance knowhow, Tricks & Techniques, Correct & Efficient
Method, Resolving Problematic areas, Get rid of Sticky nature of the software, Myth about the software,
Handling heavy *.skp file, Export/Import to files, Presentation, Detailing, Applications, Interactions, Tests
and final Project Submission Print in Scale. Next 8 sessions are related with GeoModeling application where
it comprises of understanding of TIN, Terrain Modeling, Terrain analysis, Application on Terrain, Learning
GE basics, Application of other files, GeoModeling and Movie Making.
Each session has link with previous session, hence, it is important to revise your previous session before
joining the next session.
Imp. Note: Punctuality must be maintained for your benefits.

Google SketchUp Pro V7

SU is mainly used for 3D modeling. Modeling is used for Builtmass, Object, Terrain and GeoModeling. SU is
fast, efficient, precise and compatible with so many software. Apart, it is easy to learn & operate. SU has
applications in various professions like Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture,
Surveying, GIS Applications, Manufacturing tools, Automobile Parts Design and anything related with 3D
Modeling. Main attractions of the software are AutoUnit conversion, GeoReferencing & Photomatch.

Google Earth Pro

GEP is mainly for Satelite Imageries with various applications. Actually GEP is a software which can import
other files like ERSI, skp, shp, csv etc. for different applications like GeoModeling, Thematic map, Master
plan. Apart from these GEP has good use in GPS data and VTS. Overall, it has professional use in various
profession. GEP is only compatible with G-Skp. Main attraction of the software are Import of files,
GeoModeling and GPS/VTS.

• - Free Software on www.sketchup.com is available for practice purpose or bring your pen drives for free version software (Non
Pro Version)
