Congratulations! You have now learned most of the extra skills you need to model for architectural visualization. Using these methods in various ways throughout the modeling stage will ensure that you have a scene ready for rendering. You will have saved bags of time by not modeling what you don't see, and you will have saved even more by thinking about the level of detail required.

You have learned how to use an amazing feature (components) to model things once and then utilize them many times. And you've seen how grabbing and cleaning models from the 3D Warehouse can enrich your scene through hardly any effort on your part. Furthermore, if you follow the good practices in this chapter, you will not suffer from a slow computer and you will always know just where your components are.

You are now ready to texture your model, which is the topic of our next chapter.
