TerraSim Building Designer is a new stand-alone application that uses an intuitive 2D interface to simplify the construction of geo-specific, enterable building models for VBS.

Users can easily import building floor plans as background imagery, trace walls, and quickly place functional doors, windows, and stairs using a point-and-click system. Building Designer also allows custom texture import and assignment, furniture model import and placement, and 3D building model preview. Export currently supports the P3D model format for use in Virtual Battlespace (VBS2, VBS3, and VBS IG).

Previously, the creation of new building models for VBS required experience in 3D modeling and knowledge of VBS model rules, animations, and configuration files. Now, anyone can learn Building Designer in minutes and rapidly create geo-specific VBS building models containing collision volumes, shadows, door animations, and destruct states.
