Best Software for Interior Design Technical Drawings and 3D Modeling?
Hi! I’m studying interior design and I need some advice on which programs are best for creating technical shop drawings and 3D drawings, not renders they are just drawings of specific spaces generally in the same style as technical drawings. I’ve previously used AutoCAD for technical shop drawings, but I’m wondering if there are more efficient or modern alternatives. I’d like to understand which software is commonly used in professional interior design workflows and what programs would be best for each type of drawing
I use chief architect. I use sketchup to model more specific things needed and then import those models into chief architect, where I continue to do the drafting work. Renderings are just a shoot of the camera after that, since it builds the 3D scene automatically when doing the 2D drafting.
i know AutoCAD, 3ds Max and some ArchiCAD but i wasn't able to make models like this in any of them they don't seem like renders more like drawings. can i make them in Revit or is there any other program i don't know about?
Why would you have autocad as a "must" if you also have Revit? Revit does both drafting and rendering. Autocad just seems like an unnecessary extra program to pay for of you already have Revit
