subject: AutoCAD and 3D Studio Max - Getting Them to Talk [print this page] Tools have been included in MAX -such as Snaps, the Sun Locator, and parametric doors and windows-that have come from discussions with architects and engineers. You can expect the trend to continue in future revisions. In the meantime, analyze your office work methods and use the talent you have available to make the process as smooth as possible. There are no hard-and-fast rules. Start the process with simple files and work your way into more complex projects, remembering that AutoCAD is a drafting/engineering tool and MAX is a presentation tool and free 3d model.
