I am a custom residential home designer and have been using Autocad Architectural. I am now doing more 3D and would like opinions on the other available programs, Revit...

3ds max?
Maybe model in AutoCAD and then render (materials/lights) in max?

vectorworks, archicad, and microstation the first 2, are more 3d based.
but, a new interfaced would have to be learned. arch autocad should do the job. unless you mean outside the arch and civil platform. 3d max as stated above or just metal-ray and some photoshop would be enough.
there are add ons. for better 3d in arch. autocad as well.
good luck,johnnycad

What do you think of using Revit? I am not looking for photo realism as much as a way to design and model at the same time.
