[BLDG-SIM] cad/modeling interface



You can import an AutoCAD file into eQuest, and trace around the envelope to build your model. I have never done it personally, but it is in the latest eQuest Training manual.

General question for the list:   
 
What is the latest progress and developments on the subject of integrating architectural CAD drawings of building shell into hourly energy modeling programs like DOE2 or EPlus?
 
Are there software interfaces out there that have gotten this down to a usable product, or are we still a few years out?
What are the obstacles to implementing this?  Any success stories that people care to share?  Any specific products that people have used?
 
Thanks!
Sincerely,
