Max, Rhino and FormZ

[jtiscareno]

We are currently modeling in three possibely 4 different pacakges, fromz, rhino, max and autocad. My question is what would be a good common ground for all 4???

 

I work with cad and max all the time but never worked with formz or rhino, so do you guys think that maybe exporting all into cad format and then linking into max would work? Or how a bout exporting into 3ds? And also what would be the best way to manage layers and materials in formz and rhino, layers, color, etc...

 

Thanks for the help
