I'm ashamed to say Ive just been using the brute force solution to all these flippin' normals: render 2-sided. I've had to guage what was worse, spending time correcting the mess thats left after you bring in ACAD AME boolean objects or just let the machine work a little longer overnight on the renderings. It ain't pretty, but it works. As far as bringing 3DS files back into ACAD, I've never done it. I build everything in AutoCAD and leave it there. Seems a shame, but I don't trust Visual Link so I've been sticking to what works. For non-architectuaral stuff, I do lots and lots of 3DS modeling but for all those buildings, I stick to AutoCAD.
