pole - do you model in cad or max?

[nvanherpt]

Clifton Santiago's post perked my curiosity, all you arch viz folk out there - do you model in cad then import or model in max direct?

i'm in the import group :P

[tdarcy]

import (try to model odd shapes in viz)

[armilla]

I always model in max.

[thablanch]

Max, better workflow for me

[natty]

Max always.. keeps things neat and tidy, and no Coplanar Shite..

[nvanherpt]

cheers for that natty. just noticed my spelling - sheesh

[natty]

haha ... yes, i normally model my poles in max ..

[geoff]

Model in Max, well viz 2005.
Microstation modeller is err.... a bit clunky!

[siliconbauhaus]

acad or sketchup for me but I really must learn to model directly in max

[RErender]

Max! Acad and such are only good for cleaning up linework...

[s0real]

both!
max (well viz actually...) for most stuff but CAD for certain tricky shapes.

i can't vote for both though so i've not voted as my votes would cancel each other out anyway!

[czoog]

Revit to DWG to MAX for me.

What I'm curious to know is how many here started modeling in CAD and moved over to Max? That's what I did, just wondering how many of you Max modelers remember the other side!

heh... yeah, i started out doing 2d cad then did a night class in advanced 3d autocad then after uni i started working for an interior company as a 2d cad tech.
they had a license for viz but nobody who could use it so i learnt it when i had down time - now it's all i do! no more boring CAD layouts for me!

well seeing as how arch vis isnt the only thing i do max is my tol. no point learning something else
