Error Correction of a Large Architectural Model:
The Henderson County Courthouse
TR95-013
Carl Erikson

Creating a large architectural model, much like creating a complex software
package, is a slow and error-prone process.  While bugs in software result in
incorrect output and segmentation faults, errors in an architectural model
cause visual artifacts that detract from the realism of a scene or walkthrough.
Like debugging, detecting and eliminating these errors is a time-consuming
task.  This report describes the difficulties that arose during the error
correction of a specific model: the Henderson County Courthouse.  From this
experience, some general conclusions are drawn about the model-correction
process.
