SketchUp is a 3D modelling software that works well with ODEON.
SketchUp is our most recommended 3D modelling software for designing and exporting geometries into ODEON. This is especially straightforward through our own SU2Odeon (SketchUp-to-ODEON) plug-in. Therefore, knowing how to use SketchUp will come in handy for doing room acoustic simulations in ODEON.
This is a compilation of a tutorial series that was originally split into 3 parts, now put together into a single video, with enhanced visuals and audio.
