- Geometry extraction supports triangle meshes, line sets, cylinders, and point clouds; proprietary custom parametric solids are tessellated.
- Writing native `.nwd` files is not supported (export targets native `.nwc`, open standards: IFC, GLB, OBJ, JSON, HTML, BCF, and Navisworks XML exchange).

## Scope and frozen features

NwcIO reads and writes its own format. These extras are frozen: they receive bug fixes only, with no new features or options.

- HTML viewer, GLB and OBJ export, and IFC export.
- Clash detection (triangle-level and bounding-box engines), clash grouping, clash matrix, and the HTML clash report.
- Measure, grids, revision diff, and BCF.
- TimeLiner schedule import and export, selection and search sets, appearance profiler, mesh clipper, and Navisworks XML exchange. These stay in NwcIO.

Viewing will move to [IOViewer](https://github.com/IOExtend/IOViewer) through a planned `NwcIO.Scene` adapter over the shared `IOScene` model, which is also planned. Coordination features such as clash, measure, diff, and BCF will move to a planned `IOCoord` package, and GLB export to a shared GLB writer in a planned `IOScene.Formats` package. None of these packages is published yet. The frozen features stay available and are removed no earlier than NwcIO 1.0, and only after a published replacement exists.

## Build from source and tests

Use the .NET SDK selected by `global.json` (currently 10.0.401, with `latestFeature` roll-forward within the `10.0.x` band).
