i think 3d max is perfect as a visual aid for the clients it gives the reality to your project,
Revit will help you in calculations but max will give the reality... that's my opinion.

3D max is great, but I have heard about 3D studio VIZ also...

I don't believe that 3D Studio Viz is available anymore or at least it isn't in the US. It was Autodesks' feature 3d modeling/rendering tool until they purchased the company that created 3D Max and after that purchase was made they phased out Viz. But they are virtually the same and #D max has a stronger rendering engine. And if you are looking for another tool that might be less graphic and more useful for producing construction documents you could always use Revit. But if you are interested in a more graphic software there is always Archicad, Sketch Up, or Rhino. They are all good and it is really which one you feel most comfortable with in any 3D program. And for a more architecture based version of 3D Max you could get 3D Max Design Studio which has an added feature for doing light analysis within a model. I personally have used Revit, Viz, 3D Max, and sketchup, I like Revit for building my main model and construction documents and then exporting that model to 3D Max in the form of an FBX file and then rendering it.

Thanks for your comment, it is really helpful. I think I will go for 3D Max, as I also want to start learning Revit. I am very bored using Autocad, I have been using Allplan and it is much exciting working directly on 3D than 2D.

And I think 3D Max is not focused specifically on Architecture

Profession:
Architectural Visualization Specialist
Primary Work Focus:
3D!
About Me / Us:
3D, 3D, 3D! I love 3D and graphic design. I am always seeking to push the edge in realism, and although it's taken me a good few years, I think I am finally starting to realize that goal. No work is too big or too small. I've worked on simple one room renders, to breathtaking vistas of entire golf course and holiday resort developments, and with each I have applied the same attention to detail and structure as I would anything else. As a well respected former employer once told me, "God is in the details." So bring it on!

i must say that....though 3ds max has a powerful mental ray render engine than revit....
but if a play around in wit revit....u could get somthing like this....

that looks great, I love Revit, and I know that you can get some really great renderings from it but it just goes faster in 3ds Max for the same quility. Below are some rendeirings that I did in revit that tooke on average 20 hours each.
