My thoughts at the moment are completely the revers of this.
I see it as 'The architect has rights to the model as it is a complete copy of their designed work.'
You are right about the textures and lighting, they are seen to be creative elements, but the geometry is not.....In essence you can not copyright a computer model of a building if it is drawn to a degree of accuracy from cad information... what you can copyright is an image created from the geometry...
