The Blender core tools offer a wide range of options to create 3d models for architecture and render them in Cycles. But, if you want to go further or speed up your modeling, an Add-on might give you the tools you need to decrease production time.
Add-ons in Blender works like a plugin, where you add new tools and functions by installing a small script. Some of those scripts may even come with Blender; you just have enabled it to start using the tools.
What are the scripts that you should start using with Blender for architectural visualization? We made a list that features some of the tools you should consider using.

A lot of addons have been reworked to work in Blender 2.80 and a google search might help you find a newer version of the addon you are trying to get to work. For example, the popular textool addon is made for blender version 2.79, and at the time of this writing, there is. Looking for an up-to-date Blender tutorial? Check out our selection of the best Blender tutorials to gain mastery. It works in Blender 2.79b. Open Blender 2.79b, go to User Preferences, Add-ons, and type 'rip' into the search box. Once you located the installed NinjaRipper add-on, you should see the following descriptions: - Description: Import RIP files - Location: File Import - Author: Dummiesman - Version: 0.0.1.
Add-ons for architectural visualization
- Archimesh: A great collection of tools for architectural modeling in Blender that will enable you to create doors, windows and more. Included with Blender.
- Archipack: Along with Archimesh you will find here a robust set of tools to create not only windows and doors but also walls with parametric controls. Included with Blender.
- TinyCAD: Have you ever wished that Blender had CAD-like tools for modeling like trim or extend tools? When you enable this powerful Add-on, you will see those options in the Specials Menu (W key in Edit Mode). If you want to do modeling from scratch in Blender, that is an Add-on that will save you a lot of time. Included with Blender.
- MeasureIt: Do you want to create 3d models that will help you develop an architectural project? Using the MeasureIt Add-on, you can add dimension lines to multiple objects and dimensions with a single click. And also render that to an image. Included with Blender.
- SKP Importer/Exporter: SketchUp is a software that is popular among architectural offices and having the ability to import SKP files will help you a lot in some cases. If you receive a 3d model that needs further development or just a “special†treatment in Cycles, you can import that to Blender using this Add-on.
- Camera calibration: When you need to render a scene to match with a photo, using this Add-on you help you to align the Blender camera to any image.
- Grass Free: In exterior visualization projects where you have to use grass, having a plugin like Grass Free is essential. It will create large grass surfaces for you with just few mouse clicks. Here is a guide about how to create grass for architecture using the Add-on.
- Exact Edit: A great set of tools that will enable you to either fix or set dimensions for architectural elements, by typing the values you want. We made a quick guide about how to use it for precision modeling.
With time we will update the list to include more Add-ons, but the options in the list will already boost your productivity in Blender. Adobe dynamic link mac.
