AUTOCAD INTO SECOND LIFE
This is a pretty striking demo video from Asha Eerie and Impalah Shenzhou, showing off their "Henshin" software, which imports designs created in AutoCAD into Second Life. The CAD file is transformed into SL-readable code, you set a positioning arrow where you want the build to begin; from there, creation appears entirely automated. Later on in the video (about 7:30 in), the team demonstrates how Henshin can reposition the existing build-- a particularly impressive feature. Soon available for public use, if the software's as robust as it appears to be in the video, it's easy to imagine it becoming a standard tool.
Nicely done.

This mashup convergence works too:
Google Sketchup 6 Pro > Henshin > Second Life
