Hi all, I have a question in regard of workflow for you.

I come from the world of 3D Studio (not Max, back in the 90's :-) ) and have passed thru 3D Max, Softimage, XSI in my studies....now that i have my own little office I must deal with licences cost and so I bought some time ago a Carrara licence (5.0 pro, now upgraded to 6).

The question is: the separated room for modeling and assembling make me feel uncomfortable, and i need to know what kind of workflow you guys use in case, for example, of a building modeling (starting from autocad blueprints). Do you model the various parts and then position them in the assembling room? Or do you model the entire building in the vertex modeler to keep the already made objects as a reference (for ex: the walls as reference to place the windows...etc..). Am I missing something? I've already studied the Mark Bremmer Tuts on VTC to learn the various aspects of the program, but i need clarification on how to put all together.

.....thanks guys. Bye!
