Quote - Hexagon is a good choice, maybe not the best choice.  It's cheap, easier to learn than Blender, and it's at least SOMEWHAT designed to work along with Poser and Daz.   In the realm of architecture, this especially means that Hex gives you many different ways to create "holes" for windows and doors.  Some other modelers insist on making holes by a Boolean cut, which Poser absolutely hates.

No matter which modeler you use, you should expect some intermediate steps between the modeler and Poser.  An OBJ file always requires a certain amount of hand editing to get the names of groups and materials in proper order, and there's always some fiddling with UVmapping.

I like Hexagon as well.  Good modeller at a very reasonable price.  Not free, but fair at around $20.

I have to ask though, which modelling software actually forces you to make holes for windows with booleans?
