Architecture

Guys! An architectural walkthrough utilizes computer software to provide a virtual tour of a building or structure prior to its real life construction. The walkthrough is sometimes referred to as a flythrough; whilst the walkthrough is an important communication tool to demonstrate how the building will be seen by pedestrian users of a building, the software does not confine the viewer to this view point and permits the possibility of seeing the building from all angles. The first commercially viable walkthroughs became available during the 1980s when computing advances made affordable software available and the processing power of personal computers took such graphics out of the realms of super computers.
