		<description>My biggest current concern as an architect using 3d software is a seeming lack of understanding &amp; resulting disregard for compatability &amp; consistency as software is developed &amp; the next upgrade is marketed...

Library objects, materials &amp; even pen weights &amp; fills seem to be difficult if not impossible in many cases to carry forward - undermining the notion that, once the intensive process of creating a 3d model is finished, that it can be even reused one year later without checking every single bit that might have been modified by some inventive programmer looking to &#039;improve&#039; something under the hood...</description>

		<description>With regards to BIM interoperability with CIS/2 and IFC, if you are interested in importing a CIS/2 file into a CAD package that only imports IFC files, then try the CIS/2 to IFC translator available by following the links at http://cic.nist.gov/vrml/cis2.html  On this website there is also a lot of information about using CIS/2 and IFC for structural steel.</description>
