ARCHITECTURAL_stl file coordinates to full scale building

List,

Bathsheba's posting has got me thinking about some earlier work of mine.

Does anyone know of detailed information that I might find with respect to
gettting a 3D stl file (or CAD File) into large scale structural steel. Are
there steel manufacturers or fabricators who can use a 3D wireframe with
which to semi-automate a steel structure fabrication?

If so, what do they need for the front end file information (a list of 3D
Coordinates?), and how does the manufacturing process work.

If anyone out there has, "been there done that", I'd like to understand how
one might go from a 3D wireframe of a building to a semi-automated steel
fabrication shop. I'd particularly like to be referred to a technical person
in a state-of-the-art structural steel fabrication plant.

Any ideas on where to start?
