Applying this tool in the design process will enhance the conventional method of sketching a design concept on paper and it will stimulate thinking by enabling direct exploration of the design as it is being developed. This new approach to architectural design allows architects to gradually build models in a virtual environment at various scales. V ADeT presents designers with operation selection menus to create and modify architectural primitives.
Interaction is performed with a three button six degree of freedom wand.
The current editing features include shape placement, orientation, scale, color, texture, copy, cut, paste, and group operations. VADeT also allows for user navigation, model scaling, and animation of the design process. Chiu-Shui Chan D r.
