First, you have to determine first what type of rendering will you going to do, photo-realistic? non-photo realistic? if you want photo realistic go for 3ds max, if non-photo realistic go for Sketch up fast and efficient.

AutoCAD can create nice photo realistic rendering. However, 3ds Max is the best option with more control.

 

Here are some images I created with AutoCAD.
