Softimage Xsi: xsi in architecture

I was thinking of writing some scripts so i can use XSI like an architectural program. the main idea is to let the program draw automaticaly the size of a polygon (a wall lets say) or to calculate ammount of materials for a specified object (size of a polygod * material).

do you think is possible to do it? any idea how to start or where to start?


thanx,
