12 years ago DKB, the forefather of POV delivered the
first fiew on my http://www.pege.org/gemini house
10 years ago, POV delivered the first video about the
GEMINI house.
Just right now, I am planing to build an other house for my own.
I just search for software for the construction.
But maybe it happens the same like 1994 with the first video.
I was 1994 1 week at an art institute in Frankfurt Germany
to produce it with some Silicon Graphics there.
But after one week, I was so frustrated that I went in the next
book store and discovered the next generation of DKB, POV
and created the whole video with my own equipment.
(500 hours on a 486 DX2/66 notebook for 500 picrues
with 768 x 576 TV resolution)
Now I check for software to make the whole construction
and also 3D views.
Are there some help programs around POV?
Are there conversion programs for usual CAD formats?

Just for your information, Wings 3D is not a Java program. It is an
Erlang one.

While it's probably not useful to you (as it's an expensive
commercial design tool intended for full-time designers), the
CAD program 'Chief Architect' does have POV export which works
quite well.

Just downloaded the demo.
But as far as I see, all in inches, no mm

the accepted conversion factor to a reasonable precision is 25.4 mm = 1"
or approx x100 /4

But... when did bricks go metric? Are planks now 101.6 x 50.8?

I would never use bricks for a house
