How to model faster using 3ds max 8?

How to model faster using 3ds max 8?
Seen I'm begin draw with Autocad (2d drawing), then my work flow is like this

1) Trace floor line in Autocad
2) Import in 3ds max then extrude (-150mm) the floor line become floor.
3) Create wall in front viewports using rectangular, convert to
editable spline
then extrude and Edit Mesh Modifier
4) Using floor shape as a guide to put every wall by copy it. Go to editable
spline>segment then adjust using snap point on to suit the lenght of floor.
Create 45 degree every wall edge.
5) Create opening by using rectangular. Give rectangular correct size then
using snap point and align to locate the opening. After that
attach it using editable spline

Done the wall + opening and floor as guidence

Can somebody share others workflow?

any opinion are welcome

I think u can do the floor use a plane then add "Shell" and in 3ds max there's a geometry named "wall"(do the spline as the base, then use wall picking the spline) u can add windows to the wall to and "Wall" will do a hole for the windows by himself.I hope this can help u and sorry for bad eng.

Yes, i've got some problems with the "windows", sometimes the"wall" didn't do the hole by himself.There's only this problem. good luck :)
