Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, in <strong>the</strong> conceptual design phase, <strong>the</strong> reasons <strong>of</strong> sufficiency <strong>of</strong> CAAD<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware packages are represented in Table 3.12. These analyses show that <strong>the</strong> most<br />
important factor that affects students to prefer Photoshop is lying in its extensive 2D<br />
graphical representation features. Being <strong>the</strong> best known s<strong>of</strong>tware (or <strong>the</strong> one learnt at<br />
university) is <strong>the</strong> most important reason to employ AutoCAD over conceptual design<br />
phase. Moreover, in Table 3.12, <strong>the</strong> reasons for <strong>the</strong> insufficiency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CAAD<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware in conceptual design phase are given in detail. For instance, <strong>the</strong> most<br />
common reason not to use ArchiCAD in conceptual design phase is not to be able to<br />
use s<strong>of</strong>tware easily.<br />
