Architecture has been straightforward due to the technological advancement nowadays, there is much software making the job easy and fast. the software is listed in the following paragraphs.
Rhino was introduced in 1998. Users import drawings or models into the software. The software is much easier than the computer-aided design which is also called CAD.
2. Revit Architecture:
Revit is 3d BIM modeling software. The software is much easier than any other software. Users can export the model into a CAD file, 3ds max, or dxn file. This software allows to make of easy-cut sections and it can be exported to a drawing file. Rendering is also available in the software where one can apply materials and create interior views. This software also allows for the creation of walkthrough videos. Changes made in the plan will be reflected in elevation, 3d views, sections which makes the file accurate.
3. Sketchup:
Sketchup is one of the easiest modeling software. It is also easily affordable as free download software. One can import drawing files into the software and create models. The furniture models are available in the SketchUp library. This software gives a 3 three-dimensional view of the model which is very useful for users' imagination. Most architectural firms use this software for 3d modeling.
4. V-Ray:
Vray is a plugin software that will be available in Sketchup, 3ds max, and much more. The software gives a realistic feel to the model created in SketchUp. This software allows for the addition of light and shadows to the model and gives a realistic feel. The software has a lot of material textures. The rendered image can be exported as a jpeg or png file.
5. AutoCAD:
AutoCAD was introduced in 1982, one of the popular software in architectural and civil drawings. This software gives the basic idea of the building. This software is one of the basic skills for all architectural students which allows giving the plan, elevation, and sections. Detailed drawings can also be sketched in AutoCAD. These drawing files are exported to other software for 3d modeling. These drawings will be useful for the site supervisors and engineers for their easy understanding. Students can easily download the student's version which is available on the internet. The software provides a wide education of the line weight and line type. The software allows working with different layers which can be turned and off when required.
