I wouldn't expect this to be an "overnight" learning curve. Quite the opposite, in fact. With this program, you can work up your entire ROOM with all kinds of details, like where the doors, windows, and backdrops will be -- not to mention the program's ability to import images/photos of virtually anything you'd want to place on your layout. Even the benchwork design can be extremely detailed as well (if you so choose to use it for this level of details). It's one of the best -- if not THE best -- program I've seen for rendering 3D views for our model railroad track plans -- even those with multiple decks. The program is really amazing. But when software is this powerful, it tends to have a lengthy learning curve that improves with practice.
Not my intent to sidetrack RD's track plan discussion with this stuff. It's just that somebody mentioned how the 3D views helped him envision the layout better. And I thought I'd chime in and mention 3rdPlanIt, since it's 3D rendering is really out of this world.
