Well to be honest, if you're just wanting to make nice landscapes you'd 
probably be better off just doing it in pov!

All I have there are essentially lots of prisms and lots of boxes 
(although the boxes are actually implemented as mesh2 objects).

The different colours indicate different layers in the chip, different 
metal conductor layers and their interconnects for example, with the 
height and thickness being fixed for any given layer.

Having said that, you could try Magic ( 
http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/magic/ ) or Electric ( 
http://www.gnu.org/software/electric/ ) if you are on Unix, or Lasi ( 
http://members.aol.com/lasicad/ ) if you are on Windows.

Cheers,

Roger
