Help about building reconstruction from scratch

[mixalis976]

Hello everybody,

i'm new to 3d graphics visualization and i've benn working on autocad for several time.Recently i started learning 3ds max becouse i need it for my job wich is at an architectural lighting design company.i'd like to ask for some help in building reconstruction from scratch.All mean is if i have some pictures of a building and its floorplans in autocad how to create it within 3d s max and then put the lighting.I found some tutorials in the net but they didn't have details about the process or at least the details i need to fix something like that.I know the basics of max but i'm working on it.Do u know any video tutorials or something else u can share?

thanks a lot.
