Dear BMG Group@MIT:

    Rapid prototyping of buildings is catching on.  We here at Cubic
have been working with autocad drawings, bringing them into a format
known as BRL-CAD (Ballistics Research Laboratory CAD).  Our drawings,
like many things about the DoD, tend to be "in their own world" and,
hence, idiosyncratic.  For example, many (but not all) of our drawings
have no room labels, thus calling for other data extraction strategies
such as the matching of subgraph isomorphisms.

    You mentioned that the walls module is under heavy development.  I
was wondering whether, perchance, that part of the pipeline will be
available in the near future.

regards,
