You can now take AutoCAD files and export them into Second Life. This is a demo of Henshin; software that converts AutoCAD files into language that Second Life can understand. The action really starts about three or four minutes into the video. Interesting song choice, don't you think?
This has major implications. Up until now, only the truest die-hard virtual world fans have been able to really take advantage of Second Life's environment to showcase building designs. With this new software architects have a quick and easy way to render designs in-world and walk potential clients through the buildings.
Keep an eye on AI Design Studio, developers of the software, for an upcoming public release.
