However, majority of designers, especially interior designers have both skills of design: drawing their ideas by hands and using computer programs. Interior designers have to know about at least 3-steps of design programs nowadays.

Interior design draw a electrical equipment, fire-fighting facilities, flooring and furniture on the Auto-CAD drawing. Auto-CAD is a primary program because it is very important measurement in the floor plans.

Second, Sketch-up and 3-D MAX are 3-demesional design programs. How many people can read a floor plans exactly? For helping to understand clients, interior designers should know these programs. The programs form shape of the floor plans; construct walls, install doors and set furniture. These programs are very similar with result of the construction.
