Along with the development of technology, the world of architecture is making rapid progress, including in the technique of making images. There are many 2D and 3D based computer application programs. In this research, 3D application program was chosen to determine its effect on the design work and see how the images produced by this application. This study used descriptive qualitative method with references to journals, books, and previous studies. In addition, 3D image creation is done using an application to see the results of visualization using a computerized method, the AutoCAD application is used to create a basic image then the Lumion application is chosen as a second party application to see the final result. The advantages of making computer-based drawings are to cut work time, simplify the presentation of images, and simplify work, while the drawback is that it is unflexible to make sketches such as drawing manually using a pencil, besides that the application does not guarantee data stored in situations such as a computer that suddenly lose power when working. Unmanaged work occured due to the inactivity of the autosave feature on the computer. The result of making this 3D image is a building that is easy to be given material and color, and the resulting image looks quite real.
