Richard, It depends on the type of model you have. If you want complex walls, with the interior and all, use the floor plan in AutoCAD and extrude the lines to create the appropriate walls. The doors and windows have to be done the same way, with elev and thickness. On the other hand, if you have a simple box of a house, with a lot of curved windows and doors, the best way is to create a polyline of each wall (each elevation), send it to the Shaper in 3DS and use the Lofter to extrude them. You have to assemble the house in the 3D Editor. Roofs can be done in the following way: create a simple polyline in ACAD of each part of the roof. Send DXF to 3D Editor and use vertex move to change the roof into it's proper shape. Good luck. Eni
