I Ranked Every Architecture Software (Tier List) 

Sir, what software would you recommend for construction and section drawings. Thank you. Fun fact, paint is so God tier, we actually used it in the aerospace industry for manufacturing purposes and there are official curses for it lool.

I'm trying to move from Autocad to move into more I'd say, "fixing" some designs I see in modern homes in my own opinionated way. How would my experience with Autocad transfer to Rhino? I do appreciate simplistic in a way buy ALL of my experience is in autocad but I also work in Blender but I can't imagine that transfers well since that is more 3d modeling

@@SpudEater Your move would be smooth because as an advanced user of both autocad and rhino i can say that a lot of commands are the same (rhino is command-based too). What you memorized won't go in vane. Plus, from my own perspective, Rhino is a lot smoother and "SMARTER" to draw with, and even to plot with. Blender is different, it's a polygon-based software and is not made for 2D even though it's starting to but it'll take a while. Rhino excels at 2D and is superb in 3D (both rectilinear and organic), so imagine yourself doing all in one program. I dumped autocad a long time ago and won't go back.

@issamraad8056 Thank you so much for the response, you inspired me to try it out and you were right! My time in autoCAD was a bit I'd say, holding on to what I knew and was comfortable with and I'm enjoying the new program!

@@SpudEater You're welcome, good to know you're enjoying it! Yes the more you learn rhino the more you fall in love.

10000000% disagree. Try making a shadow study in the others. Sketchup is perfect for schematic design. Addons make it even better. It’s quick and everyone uses it.

Sketchup is the best ever modeling software if u know how to use it , and download its necessary extensions, this is coming from a guy who worked years on rhino, 3ds max , and blender

@@AD-Domtotally disagree. It’s good for massing and that’s about it. Especially if you’re doing residential it’s not even a comparison. You can mass in other programs and be getting half your plan set done at the same time.

@@MA-xs4mjI’ve been using archicad and sketchup for 15 years. Revit and autocad for over 20. Softplan and chief for 2. Blender for 5 but mostly for jewelry or 3D printing design. I’ve also used vector works on occasion, 3d max and 20/20. I’ve also dabbled in most rendering programs like twin motion and lumion. Sketchup is not the best at all and I don’t understand the comment that everyone uses it. That’s not my experience at all. Most firms use revit or autocad for commercial because it’s seamless with mep and structural. For residential I find most use revit with softplan and chief architect coming in tied. Sketchup is the wonkiest of them all (only seconded by blender but it’s not really for architecture) and as a drafter turned bim manager turned designer with experience in structural, architecture (commercial and residential) and high end interior design (high rise and mid rise residential). As well as limited mep and civil. I know how these products perform on a level most don’t because for many years I was the person troubleshooting and implementing these for firms switching from 2d autocad. Sketchup is like the base level of power and I know how to use it. It’s also pretty bad at conversion when working with other disciplines with the exception of softplan.

What are you talking about?! Octane Standalone is incredible. 😅

Do you pay for revit?

...which tells me it's a useless list.

there's literally no software that's as backwards and stupid in its UI than revit. In the grand scheme of things, revit is so garbage as a software that it actually produces ugly, vapid architecture.

Cant go wrong with something that comes free with your computer 🤷‍♂️

On his multiverse, the best software; do not exist

@@Chesare2125 Excellent ! 🤣

Needs a path tracer. And better handling of extreme files.

The software has potential to be popular one day...

Hey how did you deal with Blender not having lines and other geometric shapes? I really like the idea of blender and tried it for a while but it is just missing some essential tools for architectural modeling

It is very common practice for people who use both tools...

This was recently remedied. Give v2024 a shot!

I've used it. Not sure that I love it. It doesn't have all the capabilities I'd like.

it's because it is not efficient enough for architectural workflow. In rendering yes no doubt, the flexibility and the ability to do awesome renders no question, it is the 3dsmax but if put it to the world of architecture that software requires a lot of time to put on in order to learn compare to its competitor and it also requires quite powerful cpu's or laptops in order to use it unlike sketchup.

maybe because its expensive and has steep learning curve

Glad you enjoyed 🙌🏻

Vectorworks

AutoCAD comparing to Revit/ArchiCAD is the same as comparing paint to photoshop. It’s just outdated

not knowing the full extent of what Autocad can do while comparing it with paint, is idiotic at best. @@AlexDaCherry

@@gabrielduarte3904 name me a single reason why someone would use autoCAD except “I’m used to it and I don’t want to learn revit”. Using autoCAD is basically limiting yourself in sake of nothing.

@@AlexDaCherry Revit is rigid and limits creativity. AutoCAD is outdated. we need something new, I trust Rhino will solve it over time

microsoft paint👊

Sketchup with Layout is fast and has different line types.
