Thank you Mugsey and Uncle,(you don't mind if I call you Uncle,do you?) I do believe that you can build practically anything in Bryce, including this mansion, using Booleans, lattice/terrains and metaballs, but it might take a horrendous amount of polys(file size) and time and give you a wireframe almost guaranteed to make you cross your eyes and give you a headache,lol. I don't have Bryce 6 yet though and I think being able to to convert booleaned primitives might make that much less of an issue!  I used Wings for this because it was faster, at least for me, and the mesh ended up being less than 60,000 polys. I still think that Bryce is the easiest and fastest app out there for importing, texturing, and lighting your models. I love Carrara too, but Bryce beats it hands-down in quickness for setting up an effective scene, plus Bryce has many more mapping modes.
