Couple of things to think about:
What package are you doing the architectural modeling in(Autocad,
Microstation...) You will likely want to got this data into your Java3D
program.
Are you modeling in 2D or 3D. It's very hard to get a complete model from
a 2D plan...
If you allow changes to the model in 3D how will you get that data back
into your architectural plans.
It's a doable problem but it will take awhile. I've been at it in various
forms for two years(1 programmer, 2 modelers). We've are just now trying
out our stuff in Java3D. I haven't seen any show stoppers.
