Expect 200-1000 hours to learn well, perhaps a lifetime to master. I use this mostly for architectural projects. With it you can model, visualize, document and schedule designs. Takes a lot of time to master but beginners can do some good work with limited understanding. Revit: Probably the best current Autodesk Architectural software.Has almost no capacity to turn the model into construction documents. Has the ability to populate features with entourage and moving people and vehicles. Has some architectural modelling features. 3ds-Max: Excellent modelling, lighting, materials, rendering, effects, and animation.I use it practically every day to create shop drawings and technical details. Decent 3d modelling, materials, and lighting. AutoCAD: Excellent 2d drafting, dimensioning, and annotation.

Expect 200-1000 hours of use to learn well (after learning AutoCAD). Project navigator packages and manages the multiple files. Views and sheets are also separate drawing files. Modelling geometry is done by splitting up the model into levels. Downside: Very complex to learn and master.

For optimal calculation times, the surface area and polycount should be low. Note: For best results, the base surface should be a clean, uniform geometry without double faces, holes, flipped polygons or long triangles. To start, click the button and pick the surface geometry in the scene.

Once the Curbed Areas are generated on top of it, the exposed part of the surface turns into a road. Surface – Surface geometry is used as a base for all calculations. The materials can be applied to Cityscape elements as well as any other object in a scene. Material Library – Contains over 70 high-quality Vray and Corona material presets.
