Does your architectural program use the PovRay GUIExtensions which is 

version of 3.7.
I would install 3.7 in a separate dictionary and point your 
architectural program to that exe.
What I did to get Bishop3D to work with PovRay was: Install 3.7 64bit, 
then copy the bin folder somewhere. Uninstall the 64 bit version, then 
install the 32 bit version of 3.7 and set up the PovRay GUIExtensions 
for that. That means Bishop3D will use PovRay 3.7 for rendering. But I 
can still start the 64 bit version manually and load the INI file to 
render the scene if I want.
Remember that if your architectural program is designed to use PovRay 
3.5 the syntax is slightly different in 3.7 and you may need to modify 
the generated Pov file to take full advantage of PovRay 3.7
