Technology limitations

You guys have done a great job with this project. Keep up the good work. I was wondering what limitations you have found with this web based technology.

1. Can you link the object properties to be driven by a database?
2. Seems like it is all raster based. Can you actually draw instead of using shapes?
3. What is the rendering process that is being used?
4. Is it possible to have live navigation rather then predefined angles in 3D view? Is this a technology limitation or something that you have not developed yet?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Regards,
Paul Hristov

So, is this forum dead or what? 10 posts for 6 months, and when somebody posts a question a month later still nothing.

1. At this point Seek is the index that acts like a database to tie the
items together.
2. When you create items like walls you are entering commands that result in
rendering.
3. We use a combination of technologies for the rendering.
4. An interactive freeform walkthrough is possible but has not been designed
yet. The current appeal of the UI is its simplicity.
