Every tool an Architecture or Interior Design student needs from 1st Semester to 10th Semester Thesis. Whiteboards, CAD drafting, 3D BIM, rendering, and AR portfolio tools. ₹0 to start.
In the first year, students focus on spatial relationships, site context, bubble diagrams, and rapid ideation before touching heavy CAD.
Virtual hand-drawn whiteboard for bubble diagrams, concept mapping, and site analysis sketches (embeddable React / iframe)
Architectural programming, organizational flowcharts, and space adjacency diagrams (embed protocol supported)
Interactive urban context maps, figure-ground diagrams, and site analysis maps
Vector site plans, line diagrams, schematics
Freehand digital sketching and concept art
Raster edits, mood boards, texture fixing
Distraction-free painting for loose sketches
Web Photoshop alternative for sheet comps
2D drafting — AutoCAD alternative for students
2D CAD with a clean drafting workflow
Parametric 3D CAD with an architectural workbench
As students move into technical drawing, they need accurate, dimensioned drafting environments and space planning tools.
Browser-based 2D/3D CAD app powered by OpenCascade WebAssembly for technical floor plans and elevations
HTML5 Canvas browser-based interior space planning, furniture layouts, and 3D room walks
Contours, landuse, zones, watershed — full site analysis GIS
Flythroughs and urban context for site studies
Sun path and shade studies for any site
Quick massing and early volume studies
Students begin transitioning from simple extrusions to parametric spaces, moving walls, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Free 3D building editor for generating parametric 3D spaces, moving walls, and testing interior layouts
Open-source JavaScript toolkit parsing and rendering .ifc architectural BIM models in browser via Three.js
3D modelling, photoreal rendering, animation
Physically-based renderer for realistic light
IFC/BIM authoring inside Blender
Energy simulation for climate-responsive design
Climate analysis graphics for passive design
Code-based parametric modelling
In their final year, the focus shifts to post-processing, high-fidelity collaboration, and digital portfolio presentation.
Embed interactive high-fidelity 3D models from Rhino, SketchUp, or Blender straight into portfolio pages via Web Viewer API
Web component (<model-viewer src="model.glb">) for 3D furniture models, interior details, or massings with mobile AR support
Browser-based HTML5 image editor (Photoshop alternative) for post-processing rendered images and presentation boards
Thesis book and portfolio sheet layout
Typeset the thesis document cleanly
References, citations and reading lists
Documents, spreadsheets and reports
Video and animatics for the final presentation
Simple open-source video editing
Screen recordings — rehearse the jury pitch
Portfolio site and presentation design
Custom 3D web presentations
The quiet workhorses that carry every studio.
3D-print slicer for physical site models
Precise slicing for model making
Photogrammetry — 3D scans from phone photos
Notes and thesis research graph
Self-hosted file sharing for heavy model files
Studio project management
