Questions

1. What Architectural Computer Aided Design software package (please include the version number) do you currently use?

2. Is the software capable of designing in three dimensions (3D) and/or creating visualisations (i.e. Renders, Fly-overs, Walkthroughs, etc.)? If so, do you use this feature of the software?

3. How long have you been using this version of the software?

4. How much training did you receive [before / during / after] (*delete as applicable) the implementation of the software?

5. What sort of training did you receive? (i.e. in-house training, formal courses, online training, self-taught, etc.)

6. How did you find the training you received? Do you feel it was long enough? Did it cover more than the basics of the software?

7. How long were you provided with in-house or external support (please state which) after the implementation of the software in your office?

8. Do you feel as though you received enough training and support to be reasonably proficient in the new software?

9. Are you allowed ‘play time’ with the software, that is, non-productive time spent learning the boundaries of the software and developing your knowledge of the software?

10. What are your views on the future of architectural design, with reference to the move towards 3D modelling as opposed to traditional 2D drafting?
