I am trying to find some 3d software you can use to build layouts. Does anyone know of any software?

Do a search on the forum for software - it will bring up a number of discussions on layout planning software. For 3-d, 3rd PlanIt is probably the best I have seen. CADRail has 3-d capability but it isn't as good as 3rd PlanIt (in my opinion). However, I feel like the design capability of CADRail is better (easier).

Atlas offers a track program. Not the best, but it is free for download at their website.
