The development and evolution of architectural design software have always impacted the quality of architectural work. Flexible software in architectural design has exacerbated architects' undeniable need for this software. The purpose of this study is to study the flexibility of architectural design software in the process of personalizing architectural designs in architectural design software. The present study has been used to analyze the flexibility of AutoCAD, Archi-CAD, Revit, Sketchup, 3Ds Max, and V-Ray software and their impact on the process of personalization of architectural designs. The data collection method is library and field studies with interview and survey tools. The results of this study show that, among architectural design software, AutoCAD software has the least amount of flexibility and the least impact on the personalization of designs. 3Ds Max and V Ray software have the most flexibility and the most impact on the personalization of designs in the architectural design process. Also, Sketchup and Archicad software have a moderate degree of flexibility and a moderate effect on the personalization of designs in the architectural design process. Therefore, it can be concluded that the greater the flexibility of architectural design in the process of architectural design, the greater the degree of personalization of designs, from the idea to the final design.
