u6r4sv | architecture_train | 0.91 | I am 13 years old and wanna be an architect. What CAD software should I learn? Ive heard that Fusion 360, blender , maia and sketchup are some good options but im not sure about what I should pick. Some context : I like architecture/design and I have a month of holidays . Thought it would be a good idea to spend some money on a course so Im asking to know what I should spend my money on.

Revit is king but a lot of the skills with any of the main softwares will transfer. If it matters I do primarily interior design, learning photoshop will also serve you quite well for years to come. | 1 | 36,658 | 4,000 | ||

Perhaps sign up for a life drawing or art course, or buy books that provide you with daily challenges. Go out into your town/city and draw places & things that inspire you. If you really want to learn some software, sketch up is useful - and fun. Adobe Creative Suite is also very useful. I use Photoshop, Indesign a lot, occasionally Illustrator. I’ve never even heard of the other ones you’ve mentioned and I’ve been working in practice for 10 years. I’m UK based and have had to learn software in every job I’ve had - AutoCad, Microstation, AecoSim, Revit. It’s never been a problem. Your university and any future employers will want to see your creativity, not necessarily poorly designed buildings constrained by the limitations of the software or your ability to use it. A good employer will provide you with any training that you need. | 1 | 8,187 | 4,000 | ||

But fusion 360 is also good for some more in depth stuff but thats mainly used for automated machines like 3d printers or laser cutters etc. Im not an architect I know a little bit though. A big part of the design is physics. Like what supports go here and will it fall or will it stay structurally sound. If im wrong any actual architects let me know. | youtube is a really good resource. btw autodesk gives all their software to students for free. i'm 18 and i've been dabbling with that over the years. you just need to put in your school info and like proof you go there. like a school id at most. i like their softwares i don't think they're very hard at all. but again all my personal opinion | 0 | 8 | 4 | ||

The first is learn to sketch. Sketch buildings that you see that interest you- it could be the whole front elevation, it could be an interesting detail, it could be you trying to figure out the plan of the building. Look for the "logic" of how the design is arranged. The second is learn to hand draft before you get into CAD. Architectural drawings use a lot of graphic conventions to help convey information clearly. We see a lot of arch students that are good at CAD, but create absolutely dreadful drawings due to a lack of actual drafting skill. Learn how to use line weights, hatching, types of drawings. That will make your CAD drawings much better in the long term. | Rhino for 3D modeling Sketchup for more basic 3D modeling autocad for 2D drawing revit if you’re producing architectural drawings. It’d skip it at your level. Probably wouldn’t waste time with blender, Maia, or fusion360 unless you have access to them and not Rhino or Autocad. | 1 | 57,487 | 1.5 | ||

Just use whatever can create beautiful spaces and is fun for you (and free!). Hand sketching is still a useful skillset and has been for a few thousand years, so probably focus on that while experimenting with whatever digital tools are available. | So, at your age, I've got two suggestions.

The first is learn to sketch. Sketch buildings that you see that interest you- it could be the whole front elevation, it could be an interesting detail, it could be you trying to figure out the plan of the building. Look for the "logic" of how the design is arranged. The second is learn to hand draft before you get into CAD. Architectural drawings use a lot of graphic conventions to help convey information clearly. We see a lot of arch students that are good at CAD, but create absolutely dreadful drawings due to a lack of actual drafting skill. Learn how to use line weights, hatching, types of drawings. That will make your CAD drawings much better in the long term. | It depends on where you live. Europeans use different software than US American’s as far as I have gathered. But I agree that drawing with your hand is the most vital one to master as it teaches you proportionality in different scales. The zoom feature and the fact that in many CAD programs you draw in 1:1 makes understanding proportions hard. If you don’t have your hand drawing skill to lean on. | 1 | 12,095 | 3 | ||

If it's the artistic parts, do some sketches either on computer or paper, practice perspective art. If you want to go more design/ house building, play The Sims (I designed so many houses in that game it's so much fun). Or try your hand at model-building, it's expensive but time consuming and challenging to create scenic models of your favorite places. It teaches you how to put things together and you can sell them for money too. | 1 | 6,644 | 3 | ||

Maybe it’s good for furniture design, etc. Sketchup is good, you’ll also be doing your post-graduate self a massive favor by learning Revit at an early age. But AutoCAD is also a good intro into draughting. But, and I can’t stress this enough, CAD isn’t the be all and end all in architecture. You need to sharpen your other, more creative skills too, ideally while your still as young as you are. I daresay they are more important, actually, than CAD is at this point. Draughting only comes later. | 1 | 3,847 | 3 | ||

Perhaps sign up for a life drawing or art course, or buy books that provide you with daily challenges. Go out into your town/city and draw places & things that inspire you. If you really want to learn some software, sketch up is useful - and fun. Adobe Creative Suite is also very useful. I use Photoshop, Indesign a lot, occasionally Illustrator. I’ve never even heard of the other ones you’ve mentioned and I’ve been working in practice for 10 years. I’m UK based and have had to learn software in every job I’ve had - AutoCad, Microstation, AecoSim, Revit. It’s never been a problem. Your university and any future employers will want to see your creativity, not necessarily poorly designed buildings constrained by the limitations of the software or your ability to use it. A good employer will provide you with any training that you need. | 1 | 11,139 | 2,000 | ||

It is not impossible and does not require any talent or gift :) Please don’t get me wrong here; I am glad that you are asking about this and are interested in architecture! | Fusion360 is a very handy program to know in general but it’s not really architectural. Maybe it’s good for furniture design, etc. Sketchup is good, you’ll also be doing your post-graduate self a massive favor by learning Revit at an early age. But AutoCAD is also a good intro into draughting. But, and I can’t stress this enough, CAD isn’t the be all and end all in architecture. You need to sharpen your other, more creative skills too, ideally while your still as young as you are. I daresay they are more important, actually, than CAD is at this point.

Ive heard that Fusion 360, blender , maia and sketchup are some good options but im not sure about what I should pick. Some context : I like architecture/design and I have a month of holidays . Thought it would be a good idea to spend some money on a course so Im asking to know what I should spend my money on. Since im 13 i cant do anything and everything yet, so I want to do what I can (with regard to my age) | i5a6srp | i5cmrzp | 1,650,330,280 | 1,650,380,475 | 0 | 1 | sketchup | At your age I'd do the parts that you like/have fun with. If it's the artistic parts, do some sketches either on computer or paper, practice perspective art. If you want to go more design/ house building, play The Sims (I designed so many houses in that game it's so much fun). Or try your hand at model-building, it's expensive but time consuming and challenging to create scenic models of your favorite places. It teaches you how to put things together and you can sell them for money too. | 0 | 50,195 | 1,000 | ||

Maybe it’s good for furniture design, etc. Sketchup is good, you’ll also be doing your post-graduate self a massive favor by learning Revit at an early age. But AutoCAD is also a good intro into draughting. But, and I can’t stress this enough, CAD isn’t the be all and end all in architecture. You need to sharpen your other, more creative skills too, ideally while your still as young as you are. I daresay they are more important, actually, than CAD is at this point. Draughting only comes later. | 0 | 52,992 | 1,000 | ||

The ability to quickly understand a new piece of software, is a very valuable skill - no matter which software it is. | sketchup | 1 | 78,973 | 1,000 | ||

When you get to high school take as many art classes as you can. Drawing, painting, sculpture, etc. A strong art portfolio will get you into any architecture school. You will have your entire professional life to use computers, so don’t focus all of your energy on learning software.
