    I am interested in creating a "cut-away" view of a building - as if
    the building had been sliced perfectly down the middle. One for the
    East Side another for the West. I have basically accomplished this
    with excel but I'd like to make the appearance more sophisticated. I'd
    like to put in a cut-away 3-d views of certain floors, etc. I know
    almost nothing about autocad but am willing to teach myself if I will
    be able to accomplish this. Any advice would be appreciated.

  2. I'd recommend sticking with Excel.

  3. I was going to say that, and to use different cell border widths.

  4. I've seen some pretty convincing cityscapes done using the 3D bar graph
    options.

  8. Download free Google SketchUp. Invest about an hour in the
    tutorial... You'll be amazed.
