Jerome Excuse me for jumping in here, but I've found that for complex architectural elements 3DS is a much more powerful modeler. The deform tools in the Lofter, in conjunction with multiple shapes on the path, let you create things like fancy chair legs and backs, picture frames/moulding, plumbing fixtures, etc., quickly and efficiently with no face flipping required. Granted, if you need accurate arc radii you can do it better in acad, but will 1/100 inch snap resolution, lines can be drawing very accurately. Try experimenting with the deform tools and let me know what you think. I have an extensive acad/autoarch background, BTW, so I know how easy it is to resort to a comfortable workplace<G> Have fun.
