We all start the year with many goals, and if you're in the architecture world, that means usually you want to learn a new software. So here in this video, I'm going to pinpoint the most used and know software out there!
This list isn't supposed to bring some break new things that architects are using, but it is more a list of consistent software that will help you make your resume better.

I'm an architect in Brazil. The office I work with mostly design public projects, such as parks, hospitals, schools, museums and such. Turns out, most of the public entities around here have not upgraded to BIM softwares, so we mostly use autocad for technical drawnings and Sketchup for 3d modeling. As a renderer, I usually use Vray for interior scenes and Lumion to external ones.
good day what are the software for building construction you use?
AutoCad - 2D
ArchiCad - BIM
Rhino + Grasshopper - Model
Vray - Render
Illustrator - Lineweight
Photoshop - Post production
InDesign - Layout
you can do 2d in archicad, too, you know..
Daamm!!!!
Exactly.
good summary, greetings from germany
whats the difference between the BIM and the 'model' in rhino?
I am an architect in Switzerland. I use Sketch paper, Vectorworks, sometime Artlantis, sometimes Photoshop and Indesign. Working with sketch paper is the most important.
How much CHF do you make per month? I am Spanish student I really like the idea of going to Switzerland in the future to work. But I need to learn German, so it is worth it?
Base on the project I vary between programs, but this is my basic use
for design.

BIM - SketchUp
Rendering/Walkthrough - Enscape3D or Lumion
Post- Photoshop

Excel for final estimations, etc
Hi, I am from India 🇮🇳.
I have been following you since long time now. You have been a great inspiration.
As you asked, I personally use
For Exterior visualization :
Autocad > Revit > Lumion / Twinmotion > Photoshop > Indesign
For Interior visualization :
Autocad > sketchup / Rhino > Vray > Photoshop > Indesign.

BIM - Revit
2D - AutoCAD
3D - Sketchup

@@danieloliviusson6806 what do you use ?
@@adityabhadoria01 ArchiCAD for BIM, 2D, 3D
Maxwell render plug-in for ArchiCAD, Twinmotion Live-link for ArchiCAD
Photoshop for post-production
Indesign for document compilation.
There is really no use in involving AutoCAD and Sketchup you can do that in a BIM system
jumping between systems wastes time and will burn your budget away when you start doing revisions.
I do all my Vector editing in ArchiCAD, it doesn't have all the functions like illustrator but it updates when I update my 3D models and I get 90% of the quality for 10% of the time spent.
Keeping it all in one BIM software and really learn it will help you be efficient and competitive.
And by not spending time doing unnecessary work you can spend that time actually making your design better.
Have been using ArchiCAD for 18 years now and still haven't found something to replace it.
@@danieloliviusson6806 I like your workflow, you definitely have a point on unifying different tasks in a single software for time saving. I'm tired of changing from software to software often, since it definitely takes a lot of time and computer resources. I'm taking a course on Revit next week, so after reading this I'm interested in finding a similar all-in-one workflow with Revit. Thanks for sharing.
@@TinisaPlus Great! Good luck. Any BIM software will do just fine. Just be aware that it takes a while to start using the software to its full potential and you will have to pay attention to the graphical output as the standard template stuff usually looks a bit bad and need adjusting. My tip is to make your own template after a few months when you have started to learn the program properly and them tweak the setting to make them look nicer in future projects without any extra work.
Revit has steeper learning curve than other BIM software but stick with it you will get there and be way more efficient for it.

Hi Kurt - why not Vectorworks for 3D and BIM? Especially for 3D - why take it all into SketchUp?
I am a freelance architect in Romania. I use AutoCAD for 2D, Revit for 3D and Autodesk Showcase for rendering. I tried also Lumion and I think it's great, and now I want to learn Twinmotion. Thank you for your very good presentation.
In 2020, I want to learn :
#FreeCAD (2d/3d)
#Blender (3d/animation/render)
#Gimp (Photoshop alternative)
#inkscape (illustrator alternative)
#love open source from Indonesia 😁
The BIM workbench of FreeCAD is useful. Also look into the blenderbim add-on to blender.
Blender, great choice!!!
Are you 3D students , take a look at this. Is it possible to do exterior like this?

Archicad is so good for architects. Intuitive and clean interface. IFC connection works better than any other. It's one of those software that simply makes you wanna learn more and more, and enjoy the process of design and development of a project.

Eu sempre tento aprender software open source, pra evitar instalar programas com cracks que não sei o que fazem por trás. Alguns desses que você falou são realmente muito caros, quase impossíveis de comprar pra um estudante.
Se bem eu aínda não sei usar eles direitinho (e alguns aínda não são as melhores opções comparando com esses outros), deixo uma lista de software 100% gratuito:
BIM: Freecad - Blender BIM
2D: Librecad - Nanocad
3D: Blender
Render engine: Blender - Twinmotion (era gratuito há pouco tempo atrás, acho que aínda tá)
Post production: Glimpse ou GIMP, Inkscape, Krita.
I'm from Washington, DC (United States). As a senior in Architecture school, I've learned multiple types of software. My go-to workflow is Revit, Lumion, and Photoshop. However, last semester I taught myself SketchUp and am learning Illustrator this semester so it depends on the project and what I feel is the best workflow to go. I'll typically use either Revit or SketchUp, Lumion, or Photoshop but once I get familiar with Illustrator I'll use that more.
Speaking as someone who has been in this ‘game’ a while I have two important tips. Use as few different softwares as possible. Architecture is about real buildings not drawings or models of them! Also Vectorworks has ‘modelling’ tools for architects better than SketchUp, video rendering tools as good as is needed in the profession. It also has architectural spreadsheet creation to rival Excel and a graphical parametric design engine, Marionette, built in.
One piece of software to learn saving hours of time you don’t need to spend trying to get different softwares to talk to each other :-)
Architecture as a business centres around efficiency and Vectorworks even has energy modelling built in. May be not the best but ‘good enough’ to get any project ‘out the door’. Renders and detailed energy modelling can be outsourced to specialists leaving us to do the important architecture bit :-)
John, is the switch to Vectorworks easy from Sketchup?
@@dfranyo I don't know, it's not anything I've had to do :-) However what I do know is that of the three major BIM softwares Vectorworks is by far the fastest to learn PROVIDED you forget everything about Revit. The early modelling tools within Vectorworks are 'similar' to those of SketchUp but more precise and more easily converted to BIM elements and objects.
@@johnkellett7797 Thanks for your reply. Seeing that I am our firm is a Building Envelope contractor and we're trying to add something a little extra to show our Clients what we can do, "ease of use" is important. We deal with only existing buildings, so "photo-match" is important and then creating that "wow" factor with great "before and after" renderings is what really sells it. But it's time to add the BIM component, we're doing enough work now that our construction guys need a little more help.
@@dfranyo , Why not let architects design, a subject they know a great deal about, and then provide the contractor, you, with the images you need. Vectorworks has a 'camera match' function that works with preliminary models as well as the final BIM, it matches precisely the location and focal length of any photograph taken of the 'existing' building or site with a view of the 'virtual' model. A series of them can also be linked by the software to create a video. If that is too late there are 'architectural' visualisers who, whilst knowing little about either construction or architecture specialise in creating the images I believe you seek.
The UK, at least, is full of people who call themselves professionals (they are not) who know so little about the subject of their claimed expertise that are not even aware how little they know ! Please do not fall into that trap, as a contractor stick to contracting. Or, hang on a minute, does 'Building Envelope Contractor' mean something completely different, from the meaning in English, where you live?
@@johnkellett7797
There's no doubt when I need a professional, I call my architect. I use Sketchup more for a selling tool. Something that can paint a real clear "before & after" situation for my Clients. I would like to learn a nice rendering software to give it a nice look and maybe some BIM (to help my crew out), but I am not looking to replace a licensed Architect.
Our Building Envelope firm specializes in the K-12 school market, we upgrade the existing exterior walls, fenestrations, & roofs.

Revit: BIM, 2D details and most 3D modelling and sketching (main part of all my work is in Revit)
Autocad: mainly to edit import and export dwg-files
Enscape: to render images or videos straight from Revit. (in beginning of project pure enscape-render is enough)
Photoshop: post production for Enscape-renderings (only for final production images), Photograph editing
Illustrator: diagrams
Indesign: Final layout for competitions
Excell: area calculations, revision reporting and other complex scheduling (where Revit is not enough)
Dynamo: Scripting functions that Revit lacks (door handle reporting, batch print)
Rhino: Some really specific 3D shapes, obscure 3D-file type conversions
Solibri: BIM-checking
Recap: point cloud conversions

AutoCad - 2D
ArchiCad - BIM/3D
Lumion - Rendering Engine
Photoshop - Post and Diagrams
Illustrator - Layouts
*Excel - Quantifying and administrative
*NeoData - Pricing
I´m from Mexico City, just out of college, but been in the workforce for 7 years.
BIM still doesn´t account for 50% of the working population, though it´s a growing requirement for newcomers (just a rough estimate). AutoCad an Excel are still prevalent, because they are mandatory formats for construction permits and public contest construction.
If you´re in a desing workshop or constrution work, hand sketching is a must and it´s still half of our 5 year college education.

BIM - Revit
2D - AutoCAD
3D - SketchUp
Render - VRay
Post - Photoshop + Illustrator
From France,
Archicad, Artlantis, Photoshop.
I did not see Artlantis in the presentation, but with macOS, the choices are not necessarily the same.
Perfect match with Archicad, easy, intuitive and sufficient for an architect's job
I agree with You!
You should try Keyshot for rendering on the Mac!
People hardly give credit to archicad. I DO NOT know why
I would add that It also depends on the geographical area you are going to be working in. If in your area or your target companies are using Archicad then go for it. However, do get familiar with Revit also. As far as the other tools I would focus on Visualization more than documentation if you are starting out. You get your foot in the door by creating compelling images and then you learn architecture in the process. Interesting video and editing!
Revit - BIM, 3D and detailing. Also use 'model in place' to create rapid massing studies / early 3D for visualization.
Enscape - Plugin direct into Revit. Great and easy visualization. I keep this open when iterating design options.
Dynamo - Plugin direct into Revit. Model complex geometries / adaptive components / automation.
Creative Suite - A mix of Illustrator to clean up diagrams, Photoshop and Camera Raw for visuals. Indesign for docs.
Istanbul/Turkey:
Autocad
Sketchup or 3dsmax
Vray
Photoshop
But big offices:
Revit
Autocad
3dsmax>Vray and Lumion both
I am a interior designer from graphic design. I'm currently deal with small house interior or small commercial space design.
My workflow right now is
SketchUp>Lumion (For client showcase)>Photoshop>WIX(for website)
SketchUp>Layout (For millwork shop drawing or send the Interior layout to certificate engineer for building permit)
SketchUp>CorelDraw-hand drawing (For CNC cutting)
PS: I also can use Maya or ZBrush to build complex model, but at the end base on the time spend and budget, I found SketchUp to Lumion is the quick way to get the job done(Get client).
Straight to the point! Gotta use the tools that give the best result in each scenario 😁
Thanks for sharing Daniel!
i'm really very glad to know you ,,
starting to learn Photoshop for my architecture project ,and it was very confusing for me ,Until i see your course in Udemy , the most thing i love about it is the simplicity off what you're doing and how amazing the results was. can't tell the huge difference for me off how i see Photoshop before and now .
thank you so much .
I'm really happy to help you Sara! And thanks for sharing your feedback, it means a lot 🙏

Thanks for sharing your workflow Fabian!
@@LearnUpstairs in fact... I would like to learn archicad... Most arqs says archicad it's better and fluence than revit
I'm from the Philippines
Autocad - Sketchup - Lumion - Photoshop - Indesign (Premiere Pro and After Effects for Video Production)
A super efficient workflow especially for beginners is sketchup - enscape no doubt. You can model and render very quickly with a minimal learning curve.
I’m currently learning Revit, Photoshop, and Autocad
At two offices in the past year, I've used various combinations of the following:
Rhino + Vray > Illustrator + Photoshop > Indesign
Revit / SU / Rhino > Enscape > Photoshop > Indesign
Revit / SU / Rhino > Twinmotion > Indesign
We've learned Archicad in school, now I will work on Revit more. I think detailing is easier on the BIM softwares than Autocad as it automatically rebuilds, but of course Autocad is still important.
Thank you for the video!
Great point! Thanks for sharing 😁
Revid- 2d and 3d
sketchup - elevation & landscape design
twinmotion - render
Photoshop - post production and layout
I work on Concept Design projects, so my workflow depends on the type of task that I will be doing.
For building concept diagrams, I use Revit when creating the Base model since it is easier to trace the lines imported from CAD than in Sketchup, then export it as IFC, import it to Rhino, then Export it as SKP and finally open it in sketchup.
For Basic Modelling I just use CAD > Sketchup
For Complex Modelling that requires you to do parametric designs CAD/Sketchup > Rhino+Grasshopper > Sketchup
For Rendering, I switched to Enscape, It is also a real-time render engine just like lumion but it consumes way less memory and less tasking on your computer. The render output is not as realistic as Vray or Lumion, but it takes less time to finish, and is decent enough to clearly show your design intent. Also it has AR/VR capabilities similar to Unreal Engine. So basically it is a one-stop shop for your design presentation needs.
For Post Production, I just use Photoshop
For Creating Design Packages, I use Indesign
For 3D Printing, it's Sketchup/Rhino > Cura
In my "unbiased" opinion, Revit is the future 😉
Balkan Architect = Revit, Revit, Revit, Revit :D I love your tutorials!
What a surprise! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Love your videos btw helped me alot
I started with AchiCad 9 when it was released, now I use Revit mostly since last 6 years with Rhino-Grasshopper. ArchiCad got stuck as a small project BIM software, long time ago. Now Nemetschek bought it, who have Vectorworks and Allplan already. It would be interesting how far ArchiCad will grow if it would. Or we can see Allplan, ArchiCad and Vectorworks merged together. So far, Revit is industry standard. (Besides BIM topic, Lumion, Twinmotion and Unreal are not grown enough in Architecture industry to be used by top Architectural firm).

An interior designer here, usually here autocad, sketchup, lumion, and photoshop.
For non parametric, simple forms designs :

If I am to create parametric & complex forms designs :
Dynamo for Revit - - -> Revit - - -> Photoshop (Complex conceptual form design - - -> Detail modeling & rendering - - -> Presentation work)
I'm surprised Enscape is still not mentioned in many places. As a realtime renderer, it is in my opinion the easiest one out there with amazing results. I have completely abandoned V-Ray because of it.
Completely agree!

Thanks for the feedback!
Revit to Lumion is all I ever need. Lumion produces such high quality renders that I rarely need to use photohop.
Because you only tried lumion, I love using lumion too is so fast but Vray deliver better quality and looks more realistic, but you spend more time on it.

Sketchup is all i need. I use it to compete with revit. Just need enscape inside. Layout is already there. Photoshop is a plus can do without.
Here's my workflow:
Revit > blender > lumion > Photoshop
Nice video
well its pretty solid.. but it can be revit>3dsmax,vray>pshop. Revit and 3dsmax works better because its from same company. Plus render qualities better in v-ray if you dont want to take animation. Al tough blender is free =7
True, but I prefer blenders capabilities with eevee and their very active community, and also lumion interactive workflow makes work fast
Revit fulfills all my workflows:
- 2D survey overlays and massing/sketching
- 3D massing and light studies
- BIM - if you’re going full spec then you HAVE to learn Dynamo and family creation. Don’t do this and you may as well whistle.
- Render - using the cloud render costs me about six credits total per image but that more than pays for itself with fast outputs that impress my clients.
There are a couple of areas that I hate using revit for. The materials panel is terribly slow, the view management system needs customisation to work properly. But I can safely say as a former trainer in the program, the key limitation is YOU. Revit can do everything you want, but you need to make some changes to your aspirations and spend a lot of time just poking it.

PPS: amen to adobe. If I didn’t have to do 3D, I’d just use illustrator for most things.

10-BREEAM - BRE.
11-Adobe Illustrator.
12-Logic Pro + after efects tools for presentation.
13-Final Cut Pro - personal music scores.
14-Adobe XD - proto-typing apps.
15-Apple SWIFT - you need to be able to interact via self-made apps in the future.
16-Kotlin for Android.
17-Dreamweaver - easy to design your own website.
18-Quark Xpress for reports and PDF's.
19-MS Word - an excellent 'foreign langauge' processing tool if you know how to use it fully.
20-NXPowerLite PDF compressor by Neuxpower - for MAC OS.
There are many more apps necessary to deliver presentations over the web and to clients digitally, but I cannot think of them just now. Working internationally as an Architect is a constant learning curve. I would add ArchiCad but I only used it for a short time - I liked it very much. Unfortunately, it is not used Globally. Nonethelerss, great software.
Autocad -Site file prep only(HATE it!) > Revit ALL site3D/modeling/details > Lumion terrain context/assets, both ext/int renders, walkthrough animation/VR > Adobe presentations/boards Ps, Il, Id - Canada
Sometime I have to use autocad to prep the file too! Especially when it comes from a complimentary project. Gotta be honest, I hate it as well. 😂
Thanks for sharing your workflow Andrew!
I use Revit , Twinmotion and Photoshop...
Currently learning Rhino after that will be Vectorworks for sure
AutoCad- 2D
Revit- BIM
SketchUp- model
Vray- render
Lumion- render (sometimes)
photoshop, illustrator - post-production
InDesign- Layout
I generally go AutoCAD -> Rhino -> Vray -> PS/ID
Same
Mine is close too;
AutoCAD - Rhino - VRay/Enscape (Depend on importance and time) - Photoshop - InDesign/Illustrator
I’m architecture school B1 in Japan.
I use Revit, Rhino and Lumion.
And I connect each other by plugins.
It allows me to really fast working.
Blender is a legitimate architectural design tool that is a must for architects and students in 2020.
Yeahh blender is so underrated
I've been thinking of learning blendr because it looks really fun, but my brain can only hold on to so many software shortcuts -_-
@@LyDoi365 the new version of Blender doesn't rely as much on shortcuts as previous versions
My personal workflow in the process of designing an architectural project:
*Hand drawn sketches => BIM design of the project in Revit => 3D renderings in Lumion
This gives me all the tools I need for designing and validating the project, plus creating all the necessary documentation for construction, plus visualization.
Other architectural tasks I do them with:
*Boards => Photoshop & Illustrator
*Booklets & books => InDesign.
*2D drawings (Preliminary Master Planning sketches, before moving into Revit and after hand drawing sketches, if needed) => AutoCAD (although I'm using it less and less...)
*Detailed architectural drawings => Revit too (works great!)
*Post-production of stills => obviously Photoshop!
*Video editing for walkthrough presentations => Premiere Pro & After Effects (for effects).
👍😁

Depending on complexity, time, or desired results:
Revit > Lumion/Twin Motion > PS > Illustrator
Revit > Sketchup > Vray > PS > Illustrator
Revit > PS > Illustrator
Sketchup > PS > Illustrator
amazing, where can we see your work?

I used
AutoCAD -2D
Sketchup -3D
Lumion - Render
Photoshop - post productivo
Ilustrator - lo presentation
Greetings from Mexico!
ArchiCAD-BIM & 2D
Sketchup +Vray-3D
post production-Photoshop------(Kenya)
Though I feel most Kenyan firms are starting to lean towards Revit
@@lorrainenandako3136 ....true...especially from 2018...moving onwards to 2020...
From Uk -
AutoCad for 2D - Sketchup for 3D - Twinmotion for render - Photoshop - InDesign
I'm currently learning Revit,Rhino and vectorworks.
