Abstract

A significant amount of rework in construction is caused by clients´ last-minute changes and their inability to acquire a realistic appreciation of the product from the 2D drawings at the design development stage. This paper introduces a computer system that enables a user to construct a 3D design model efficiently using object models stored in graphical element libraries. The system allows the user to `walk through´ the 3D design so that the client and the user can have a realistic appreciation of the product before it is built. In this paper, the architecture of the system and issues related to its implementation are presented
