I'm trying to figure out if GIS software can do what I need it to do before spending the next several weeks learning it. For anyone who has worked with it, is it the kind of software for 3D virtual cities?

I've downloaded QGIS and a lot of different databases. The software is not very intuitive and even the tutorial PDFs and videos aren't a lot of help because all the ones I've found are from an earlier version, which is different than the one I have.

What I'm hoping to find is a file that has 3D buildings, something like what aerial lidar might create.
