The programs are according to the project and it's phases which are:
1 - Sketching : Autodesk Autocad comes first because of it many features in2D drawings and its accuracy2 - Preliminary draft : here we are talking about the next step of designing the porjects it includes : plans, elevations, ...... we can use Graphisoft Archicad which is the best in drafting because of its3d engine included, Autodesk Autocad, Autodesk RevitFor the3D modeling and rendering : Autodesk3Ds Max comes at first place, then Autodesk Maya, then Abvent Artlantis studio which is very rentable in time/quality criteria, Archicad can also come in handy in a matter of modeling with its very rich library but its rendering engine is poor so we have to pass through an external rendering program such3Ds Max or ArtlantisAlso there is SketchUp which is very easy to use in modeling but also for a realist render an external rendering program is needed3- The exeuction phase : it includes detailing every part of the project and its components :Autodesk Autocad will come very handy for its accuracy and its time/quality criteria, other programs for calculating the structure components as SaP and RobotCatia from Dassault Systems would be the best program for every design if it wasn't so complicated
autocad is best software for2D drawing but in3D i prefere sketchup
until now autocad
