W-1 · Specification · five clauses

Clause 01The machine you haveout of core · NVIDIA and AMD

Smooth on the machineyou already own.

Big data streams from disk a page at a time, so the file's size is bounded by your disk, not your memory. The renderer sizes itself to the graphics card it finds. It never refuses a file, and it never quietly lowers the quality to cope.

Billions of points, streamed from disk a page at a time — the largest file we have opened is not a limit.

Meshes of tens of millions of triangles, drawn as a cluster level-of-detail cook.

Through Vulkan; no CUDA anywhere, and two cards in one machine both work.

One quality ladder — Low, Medium, High, Ultra — sized to the card by itself: render.quality.auto.

Clause 02Opened as itselffirst-party readers

The file you were sent,without the program it came from.

First-party readers, so a CAD part, a city mesh or a laser scan opens directly — no converter, no trial licence of somebody else's software.

DrawingsDWG R13–R2018, DXFOpened, edited and saved in 2D drafting; a part's drawing goes out as DWG.

ScansE57, PTX, LAS, LAZ, COPC, FARO, Z+FOur own parallel E57 decoder, its output identical to the reference library's.

Where we stand,side by side.

Only what we have checked. Where a product's documentation does not mention a capability, we say so rather than guess.

Clause 04Numbers you can hand on

It says how faryou can trust it.

Registration by least-squares adjustment with the reliability figures surveyors are taught and seldom shown. Every deliverable is badged with where its accuracy came from — stated, derived or assumed.

Linework traced on the cloud carries its residual and tolerance into the DXF.

A classifier you train in the application, checked against national classes on airborne lidar — and points it is unsure of stay unclassified.

From a scan to a checked IFC proposal in a few presses — a proposal you review, not a finished model.

Measurements in the browser agree with the desktop's own.

Clause 05Yours

Small things,done properly.

Activate once; a yearly or perpetual licence then works in the field with no countdown.

Every edit is an operation on the source, not a copy of it — undo goes all the way back, and your file is never touched.

The next job is one click: the data stays in memory and the camera stays where you left it.

The application renders its own films, on the graphics card you already have.
