I was wondering what drawing, modeling, and rendering software you use in your practices. In my case, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, TwinMotion, and Adobe(s) comprise my toolset, but I was wondering if anyone use something different.
Revit, AutoCAD, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, 3DS Max, Sketchup, Rhino, FormZ (OG shout ou!).... and classic pen/paper. Vray for renderings although I don't waste my time with realism anymore.
Software is easy-peasy stuff and does not take much time to learn. It's a tool like any other and far too many are either quick to blame it (ie. revit can't do that) or assume that knowing what the teapot button does makes you a good architect.

The key is understanding the advantages and limitations of the software you are using for the task at hand. For example, revit can do a lot of things, but there are some things that just work better or are faster in other software.
Totally agree with how tools don't make you a talented designer. I was wondering what software I would be expected to use in case I happened to move to a different firm.
Skepticism of anything Autodesk tells you is a good thing also. The bulk of firms in my community are brainwashed into running 100% Revit for design/production and anything else is considered obsolete or artsy-fartsy.
Software used in practices
Dear all,
I was wondering what drawing, modeling, and rendering software you use in your practices. In my case, AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, TwinMotion, and Adobe(s) comprise my toolset, but I was wondering if anyone use something different.
Thanks.
Revit, Word/Excel/Outlook, Adobe, Enscape, Rhino (phasing out)
What are you phasing Rhino into, pure Revit?

I dunno really, I've never had issues with using AutoCAD or Revit.
They're just tools. It's all in how you use 'em.
Quickbooks, Harvest, Excel, Word, Outlook, Bluebeam, Revit, Adobe Creative Cloud (and most likely Enscape at some point)
Revit,AutoCAD, Enscape, Microsoft Office suite, Photoshop, Illustrator, BIM360, ProCore
Revit, Enscape, autocad if I have to but really dont wanna, Gimpshop, Microsoft Office suite
#2 Lead Holder, Lettraset, Prismacolor, Prayers, and Midjourney
Thoughts and Prayers for my project please.
Thoughts and Chairs is all I got.
Bots and Chairs?
Thots with hairs?
Revit, AutoCAD, sketchup, twin Motion, Adobe suite
