One of the annoying things about Second Life is building structures is clumsy and slow (and I'm no expert on that).   It seemed insane that Architects, who usually work with Autocad files, had no easy way to translate work they had already done into Second Life - that is ……till Henshin  (see below).

I understand that Henshin will be available for anyone to use soon - I first heard about Henshin from New World Notes.

"…This is a pretty striking demo video from Asha Eerie and Impalah Shenzhou, showing off their "Henshin" software, which imports designs created in AutoCAD into Second Life.  The CAD file is transformed into SL-readable code, you set a positioning arrow where you want the build to begin; from there, creation appears entirely automated.  Later on in the video (about 7:30 in), the team demonstrates how Henshin can reposition the existing build– a particularly impressive feature.  Soon available for public use, if the software's as robust as it appears to be in the video, it's easy to imagine it becoming a standard tool."

And here's the Video, below - but I feel the last two minutes are the best part of the video.
