For use in the office it’s not possible (yet?), maybe only for some in-office exploring.
But nevertheless it’s good to research the possibilities as this blog does. Maybe Digital Urban can do some research on this matter. That is the use of the game-engines for commercial purposes.

VERY import thing to remember:
Architects want to use Real-time walk-thrus with game engines, but we cannot it is illegal.

Any of the good game engines note: “NO commercial use“ that is the reason we don’t use it. A professional architecture office is clearly commercial use of the game engine.

The question to really ask is: Why don’t they sell a version that CAN be used in a commercial capacity?, and expand into a new market?
