I had issues with Arch Desktop a couple years back when trying to use VIZ window/door material templates. The Material IDs from Arch Desktop were different but when I found the numbers I was able to map the windows/doors.

I think I'll start /w Arch Desktop and model everything there and bring into VIZ vi File Link Manager.

I plan on using Metal Ray for rendering and I might look at V-Ray if its worth it, if that makes a difference on what CAD I'll use.
