Quote - luxxeon does fab freebie furniture for poser, using max.

Luxxeon is a 3dsmax virtuoso!  I've been using Max for 15 years off and on, and still impressed by some of the models he puts out.  Max is great for architecture stuff, but it's not free.  Far from it at $3500.  Normally, I would say the best modelling package you will find for free is Wings3D, but that's NOT the case for architecture, and here's why:  Wings3D doesn't use real world scale in it's units system.  Sure, you can get by without that, but when modelling architecture stuff, it's just a whole lot easier and more accurate if you are using a software that can display unit scale in metric or US Standard, and not just generic, arbitrary measurements.

That said, I think Blender is the best free software for architecture modelling.  I'm not a fan of Blender, but it can really help you model things to scale, and it's got all the necessary modelling tools most of the high end softwares have.  The biggest problem with Blender is getting used to the UI, and the unorthodox way it handles it's features.
