Fusion: Revit - Autocad - ?Artlantis

[cipa11]

what about a fusion between 3 strong softwares?
- Autocad is a great architectural linework editor
- Revit is a great architectural modeller
and maybe,
- Artlantis is a great architectural renderer (the quickest)

"architectural" above can be considered mechanical, electrical, plumbing, landscape and more

What would be the best landscape software (fast, easy, parametric...) if anyone know?

I just read a Preview guide PDF about Auticad 2010 and yes! is a strong linework editor! A tought! Why not to change the Revit linework tool with the entire autocad 2010 (+ interface) and maybe to change that MentalRay (rendering engine mimic...) with Artlantis that really makes ultrarealistic renderings in the shortest time on the market. Yeah! they have to buy it too...like they bought Revit. And then! we'll have "A TOOL".
Happy Friday!

If "Newport" shows up as promised forget Artlantis.
Why do people feel the need to buy another rendering package if they are already getting it?

I don´t think that "Newport" would replace any render software, but it will be a complement, not to every project, not to everything we are used to render.

By the way, Autodesk as launched a Revit Visualization Suite http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=12465650&siteID=123112
