Plus you can export your models into a pdf doc so if using a black and white line view of your model you can create some really beautiful build docs and graphic template files. Sketchup also helps a lot when design custom pieces sent to CNC. Plugins I use are: round corners, select n isolate, pushpull, curvizard, shapebender, make face, escalate_displace and taper maker. my portfolio has some designs I did last year. I took their 3ds max bematrix library converted it into a sketchup library and it's done me well.(They offer a sketchup library but the frames are nowhere near as accurate as the 3ds max ones.) I highly recommend looking into sketchup. I work for a company that does a mixture of custom designs and designs using standard bematrix frames or a mix of both. You do not need to learn advanced modeling skills, you need to know only basic modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering skills. I come from a maya background and I still use it heavily but I find that sketchup is the fastest at least imo to create tradeshow designs especially if creating custom booths. Using '3ds Max' will be more helpful for you but you have to learn using Max by youtube or any professional course. I've been designing booths with it for 3 years now. Sketchup pro plus a few of the more useful plugins and Vray for Sketchup = top notch, fast easy and no worries about uvs.
