i thought this might be interesting.. his floor plan is far simpler than what i might have imagined. michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 14:13:14 -0400 From: David Holland <david.holland@cubic.com> To: 'Michael Craig' <mic@graphics.lcs.mit.edu> Subject: RE: BMG Hi Michael, Thanks for letting me hear from you.

MIT's floor plans--and, we gather, most all floor plans created--have their own strange and often annoying problems. the current code is aimed at reading MIT's plans, but in as general a way as possible. with a little modification it may work fine on other plans. room labels are currently used to identify spaces, but i am working on other ways of finding verifying "correct" rooms. if you are able to, some sample floor plans of yours might be helpful for us to look at. let me know if that is possible. we are only taking DXF files in, and manipulating plans as UniGrafix files the rest of the way. let us know if you have more questions. thanks, michael On Tue, 29 Jul 2003, David Holland wrote: > Dear BMG Group@MIT: > > Rapid prototyping of buildings is catching on.
