Good luck with architecture it’s a lot of work. I’d start with autocad for drafting. About 9/10 of the studios I applied to this month had it as a requirement. Revvit is also essential but you’ll learn that as you get more into the construction documentation side of things. Start with autocad, if you’re still set on architecture once you begin to learn construction documentation then begin learning revvit.
Some background: I am familiar with 3D modeling programs and have also taught myself the basics of Sketchup so I wouldn’t be approaching either of these options cold.
Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.
Could you explain more about your “pivot”? Being in the architecture field is more than just knowing how to use a software. There’s a lot more to be educated about, as it a profession that directly affects the wellbeing of the environment and its habitants. Does your pivot possibly mean going to architecture school?
If not, a basic autocad tutorial could at most land you an architectural drafter job, and with more education and training probably more technical jobs.
To the point of autocad, it depends on the section of architecture industry you’re trying to enter. Building consultants for example, extensively use autocad. Whereas in the designs and true architecture side, use of autocad is minimal to none and widely runs on revit. Modeling/ rendering software knowledge could help you break into visualization jobs. The possibilities are endless, hope this helped :)
In terms of software, you need to learn Revit for sure. It's the most common BIM tool every large firm uses and is much more important in my experience. Autocad is slowly getting pushed out as some civil and engineering firms are transitioning since Revit can accommodate. It's a difficult tool at first, but will be much more essential than Autocad IMO.
