seen as a fancy tool for architects. This view of 3DS max is far from the
truth. It has always been a great tool for creating visualisations of your
design, and communicating your design to clients, public consultation and
project teams by creating still images, animations and photomontages.

company called 3AM Solutions. Dynamite VSP was renamed Civil View and it is now
included as part of 3DS Max Design.
Civil View allows you to directly link your design from
Civil 3D and Bentley MX.
When the link between 3DS Max Design and Civil 3D is made
the 3DS Max Design model retains the link, when your Civil 3D model changes the
3DS Max model can be updated instantly.
Civil View also has tools to easily add road marking,
fences, lighting, animated vehicles & sight distance analysis. You can also
import traffic simulation data from Vissim
