Taking a risk is not what people want. Architects and future homeowners would not want to build a house or building and regret the design in the end. With computer technology fast improving, we can simulate a house before building it in the real world. Using computer graphics technology, we will implement a tool that allows an architect to design a draft architectural drawing of a structure in AutoCAD R14 and then model it in 3D where one could navigate around and through it. By navigating, the architect can see the exterior and interior of the structure, allowing a person to see a view of what the structure will be like while still in the design phase. With these, time and money will not be wasted. Changes in a particular design will not be costly, because the architect is just creating it in the computer and it is not permanent. Not only that, it could also serve as his/her practice tool to enhance his/her skills.
