Today 3D software is an important tool to build a project. Before spending time and money it is necessary to design and create each part of the future pier in 3D model to study and analyse the assembly between them.
To do that, I used 3DSMax. This powerful software produces high quality and realistic pictures provinding a great help during the project.
Thanks to it, I created each part of the pier with a real scale to study its impact with the telescope. Thanks to a camera field of view it was possible to optimize its size and choose its better place in the future observatory.
Unfortunately this software is a 3D animation software and not a real CAO software. Therefore, it is not suitable to produce good plan with scale that's very useful when you start to build the real project.
