3DVIA Shape for Maps is a great utility for creating virtual buildings.
With 3DVIA Shape for Maps you can build in 3D and share your final work with your friends through your Microsoft Live account.

You should have Bing Maps 3D installed on your computer in order to use 3DVIA Shape for Maps. This is a powerful tool to view and browse maps in 3D.

This piece of software is rather sophisticated but with a user-friendly interface it should not be too difficult for beginners to get around with.

After you start the program, you are able to choose the map location of your virtual building.
First time users will find help in the interactive tutorial that is structured on 12 steps. It will show you how to build a virtual house and help you test almost all of the functionalities of the program. It will be much easier to build virtual buildings after you have tested all of the program features. 3DVIA Shape for Maps offers you the possibility to preview every detail of the virtual buildings you design. It also provides a great set of furnishings, windows, doors and many more.
In addition to the interactive tutorial, 3DVIA Shape for Maps also provides online videos and documentation for Windows Live users.
