Yes, close to what I had in mind. But I also want to have some 
"interactivity" in it. Like left alone for 5 minutes it "walks" by 
itself, and if some one want to know how to get to point B from where 
he/she is right now, or just "explore" the site, it comes out of kiosk 
mode and you can use keys/joystick to navigate around.

I have the architectural data ready in DWG, and am toooo lazy to do it 
once again in UnrealED, let alone it uses another approach (BSP) which 
is very unused and somehow irritating to me yet.

Does anyone know, if the new "Unreal * 2007" will still have an editor 
bundled, any details known about it ??

Thanks again for your patience...
