Hi Yorik

Thanks for your feedback, I didn't realize that architects work in 3D in a totally different way. You mention that architects use high level software such as Revit and Archicad for modelling 3D, do you yourself use these software tools or do you like to work with Blender. How popular do you think Blender is in the architecture community. You have sites such as w w w . B l e n d e r 3 d a r c h i t e c t . c o m providing information dedicated to Blender and 3D Architecture visualization. Do you know if many architects are using blender for their design work or is it just a small group of users in the architecture community?

I tried to Export to X3D from Blender one of your architecture blend files that you provide on your website to see what it would look like in an X3D player. However, the textures were missing so I wasn't able to see a proper result. I was wondering if you could pack the textures into the blend file indaiatuba.blend from your Open Mall Shopping project . I think the command in Blender is File -> External Data -> pack into .blend file . Would you be able to do this and provide a link to the updated indaiatuba.blend file . I am currently working with Blender version 2.56a Beta and have reported a number of bugs related to Export to X3D which the Blender developers have recently fixed. I would like to identify and report any bugs I can find in large blender project files like this one.

Thanks in advance
