    3D Design for OS X?

    I'm looking for an app that would be a cross between 3DSMAX and Corel Draw. I.e. the ability to model to scale and render so as to visualize ideas etc.

    I guess AutoCad is what I'm on about, but is there AutoCad for OS X? Any alternatives that would be cheaper?

    Thanks, Mike

    Bryce is a good shout, but isn't it more of a creative program? i mean i don't know if it has the design features of Autocad or 3DS... i could be wrong though.

    well, most 3d programs should be capable of working to scale..

    Cinema4D is a good one as well
