I just discovered the other day that the Edge Bevel tool has some craaaaazy preset profile shapes. My friends doing arch work would love them. Modo also has some very nice precision tools. Piping in Modo looks quite easy. I remember seeing a video somewhere that showed some pretty nice features for it. I'll see if I can dig it up.
