As demands build for better document management systems, this type of technology should evolve way beyond the present limited form. Once document management systems merge with CAD engines to provide Internet-like browsing of internal office work via an intranet architecture, better internet solutions will obviously emerge simultaneously. The install is effortless. More sophisticated work is less intuitive. After a space has been constructed, tools for material mapping, animation, sound and URL linking can be employed to further enhance the virtual viewing experience.
Output is as simple as saving a file.
This program is basically a building program for VRML spaces, but its structure, ease of use and impressive tools challenge many 3D CAD programs. By racing through the pull-down menus and observing what I could do, I was soon off to building a scene. There is a library of 3D objects to select from or you can build based on primary shapes. For more basic object creation, there is a 2D polygon tool. This tool can be used in conjunction with a 3D wall making tool to automatically offset for wall thickness and then extrude dynamically for wall height.
