Many clients find it difficult to read conventional 2-D plans. Accordingly, as part of this diploma, our students learn to cretae 3-D models of gardens and outdoor spaces using IntelliCAD, Google SketchUp and AutoCAD. These models can be rendered in the software they were created in or exported to other tools for rendering.
Note that projects involving the creation of 3-D models come after you have mastered 2-D drafting.
