Abstract
The application of 3 Dimensional Software (3D) in architectural practice has become a necessity in the late 21st century and beyond. Digitalization of documents, presentations in the architecture profession has increased the need for faster, reliable, and accurate 3d modeling and productions. Therefore, in most architectural faculty and schools, the introduction of 3d modeling and production is a must nowadays. The introduction of many 3d software and applications in the architectural study has also tremendously allowed for the users (architects) to choose the best software for their practice. In this research, the data of each architectural students performance in FABE, IUKL in diploma in architecture program has been collected since 2020 till 2021 has been analyzed and discussed in the research to find out the usability of architecture students after they have learned how to use the 3d software for their advantages in an architectural presentation in their studios and following. The results will be beneficial to educators on how students accept 3d software and apply them in their works other than manual presentation in their early years of study. It will also help educators on how to deliver 3D teaching and learning to the extent the students are able to use the platform for their future careers in the field of architecture. The first most important discovery in this paper is the trend and effectiveness of 3d architectural usability by students heavily relies upon the delivery method used by the course by the lecturer and the type of software used. Then the second most important discovery is that the students discover their own style of the method of delivery of the 3d software to ensure their 'marketability in the era of digitalization and globalization. It is hoped that the finding of this research will improve the teaching and learning in the architecture field and career.
