Introduction

house-that is a architect's design tool for creating houses and similar buildings. It is based on opengl and qt libraries and implemented and tested on linux systems ( linux-2.2.5 ). The package has two components:

  1. A 2-D module that allows the designer to create floor plans as well as to place entities like doors, windows, furniture etc
  2. A 3D module that enables the designer to interactively walkthrough the house created using the above module.
The features of house-that utility :
neat user interface - ease of use - provision of feedback for all user actions - ease of modification - ease of learning

Performance - Special care has been taken to enhance the performance of the walkthrough, by using BSP ( Binary Space Partition ) trees as the data structures, to store the planes in the image.
