I did for BBC 64 F1 race tracks with multiple paths and extrusions, all dynamics. The tool I dev back then was far less extended than v2 which I've added to Prefab later on. So I would say, I'm pretty sure the app could manage to help you at some level.
Some features are not implemented (yet) in Prefab, and not very well known I think. While added to Away repo at least 3 years ago. such as PathDuplicator. which allows you to add objects along the track distributed as you want. Think here like some lights, direction panels, gravels, buildings... any mesh you want. They are automatically aligned to the path. with some experience you can then have a very rich track at very little coding cost. fully dynamic, meaning the track loads and is on screen faster than fully defined versions. You also can combine the meshes with HeightMapModifier.as. Think here for instance as meshes representing rocks on a side of a montain road. This allows you to break the regularity of the rocks and make it look like its all unique... as Michael says, the as3 path exports should be enough, either you choose to export the geometry from Prefab or simply use prefab to define/test the profile and the path. you also can export as awp, directly from the path editor in case you would want to reedit the path(s) you define. Note that if you would want to export some animation, there is a known issue on Windows, where only one of the 2 expected classes is exported (hope fix this one soon) > Aswell i´v got problems with the size..when import a model from max to > prefab... Can you be more specific on this one? Let me take a shot. I suppose you want place stuff from max at same scale of your Prefab path/mesh Simply make a path extrude in Prefab, export as obj, import in max. scale al other objects to this output. Depending on settings, prefab's obj file might be inverted on x axis. There is a right handed option on exporter... Hope you'll post here your baby once we can take a ride on it!
