George: UpFront is just modeling and, while geared toward architecture, you can't generate construction documents from it but it is a great "visualization package". I've translated hundreds of little models from UpFront to Renderize via the DXF format with no significant difficulties to report. They (SketchTech, the makers of UpFront) should be out with a new version soon. It was do in november but they were having difficulty with their animation module. Their Macintosh version is beautiful and has been a stable product for at least a year, the windows version is still playing catch-up but this upgrade should even the ground a bit. joel*
