Joe, AME is abut the furthest thing from an architectual model tool as one can get! I would not consider recommending it to anyone unless I wanted their productivity to suffer. For building models for ACAD only – maybe, a BIG maybe. For export to 3DS – NEVER! It's cumbersome, expensive, creates HUGE files, can be unpredictable and takes advantage of NO 3DS modeling shortcuts that are available with DXF export. Unless you are trying to locate the center of gravity for your building there is no practical use for AME & 3DS. – Phil
