Michael-
You are absolutley right, not everything written by Autodesk is bug free (Right
now I am pulling my hair out on some paper space features).
I am sure you can just use Acad to create models that can be imported into 3D
Studio; but I do know that it is alot easier to create solids with AME, and
import them into Studio using visual link. There is no conversion of faces or
anything which makes for a faster smoother transition.
For strictly creating 3D geometry without gads of interlinking lisp routines
that some 3rd party menu systems offer, it seems that in my experience AME is
the quickest, simplest, inexpensive way to get quick, accurate 3D geometry into
Studio, and into presentation.
My statement about "…just a light" was too extreme a statement, and I did
not mean to offend you <g>. I am talking about complex architectural models
rather than extruded floor plans.
Cheers-
Joe
