Abstract:- At the turn of the 21st century, the advent of
advanced software from conceptual development of 3D
simulation and analytic tools have been developed to aid
the development of various architectural presentation
techniques and obtain digital optimization. Data was
collected from students currently in MSc 1 and 2, using a
structured questionnaire and analyzed by using
descriptive statistics shows that more men use CAD than
the women. A high percentage of MSc students are
youths. Most MSc students make use of their computers
most times when they are opportune, and those who do
this are more likely to keep improving and adapting to
various CAD skills and are able to troubleshoot and come
up with solutions to problems they would face in those
software. Timing for the completion of a CAD design is
dependent on skills, the availability of appropriate
software/hardware and constant power. This shows that,
power supply is a key factor to consider. The information
from the questionnaire showed that MSc students who are
single have more time and are more focused to practice
their skills with various CAD software of which those
used in this study are Sketchup, Revit, AutoCAd,
ArchiCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Rhino 3D, Vectorworks
Architect, 3D Studio Max, Lumion, V-ray, CorelCAD,
Corel Draw, Catia, Briscard BIM, MicroStation, Credeo,
Twinmotion, Unreal Engine, All Plan, Emscape, Adobe
Premiere Pro, and Blender. The impact of these tools on
their architectural development were measured based on
their projects presented in school. The impact enables
understanding of the implication of introducing such
software to the school curriculum and creates room for
more advancement in this research such as 3D printing or
VR (virtual reality), which represents the future of
architectural visualization.
